Somehow I find that interacting with AI doesn't make me feel the same way as diving through Wikipedia rabbit holes. With AI it feels more like, it starts saying how there is indeed an answer to some science question I was unsure about, about some phenomenon or about how some technology works, and it starts explaining it but I feel disinterested in actually reading it's answer. I see it's general shape and I feel satisfied in the existence of the answer. It may be the glazing sycophancy too, but it seems that I get the "satisfaction" from just getting the answer, while with Wikipedia I only got it once I dug up the info that I needed. And the AI answer is ephemeral, while the Wikipedia page is there for everyone, it's a thing, even if it can change.

Same with AI images. It feels good for 2 seconds to see what I asked for and I'm immediately disinterested. Same way, I've generated many Suno songs, but I don't care about them after a few listens.
