Hello HN,
I am just curious. There are a couple of products (You, Perplexity.ai, and Neeva (soon)) that have recently launched a feature that summarizes articles and spits out answers. I'm wondering how creators, particularly news outlets, will get paid if search engines start taking their traffic?
Maybe completely new business models will need to be implemented?
I'll just paste the text he sent me when I asked basically the same question.
"I'll worry about this when AI can watch baseball and make sense of a manager getting ejected."
I think "news summaries" are going to get blown up by AI reading all of the other news articles that exist about something, but ... someone has to actually write the first draft. Back to sports: we're a long way from an AI watching a ballgame and understanding why, exactly, a manager had his pitcher hit the next batter, or why a certain homerun was so crucial.
