Why do we still read articles? I get the entertainment aspect but it's pretty clear we ll never have to read an article about travel destinations, we will be asking the AI itself, or reddit
Good travel blogs maintained by locals are immensely valuable. They usually have much better technical advice about local culture, airports, payment, SIM cards and that sort of thing.
I just stayed at an Airbnb in Crown Heights (Brooklyn) a week ago, and knowing nothing about the neighborhood but wanting to eat a meal there, found that Google Maps was a little overwhelming. It was nice to skim some articles that seemed human-curated; it at least gave me an idea about where the hotspots of the neighborhood are and what kind of cuisine I should be favoring.
If the locals have written any of that down or recorded it on video, the AI will have consumed it already.
AI content feels a lot like the copywritten content it replaces: a shallow repetition of what an actual expert wrote down.
