Thing is LLM can be trained on things not available on the public internet, unlike search engines having to return public URLs.
I’m sure all these agentic AI are slurping in all proprietary codebases and their documentations and training on them. It’s the only way to one up the competition.
That is the part which most frightens me.
If the LLMs become the bastions of truth because the open web has fallen to slop, truth becomes privatized and unverifiable.
There is a fair chance that we are already in the beginning of this. The web allowed AI to be jumpstarted because it made a lot of information available. Now the AI peddlers are incentivized to destroy the web so they have a monopoly.
And hallucinated a significant percentage of the time.
