> I actually think it has the possibility of swinging the other way (at least in some areas).

I think that's without alternatives honestly. The internet long has suffered from a problem with algorithmically curated, if not outright generated, content now. This time will come to an end, because already now googling things tends to yield heaps of garbage to sift through to get to the one good piece of information, and it will get worse quickly with all this AI tooling available.

I guess people will turn back to reading their favourite blogs and websites more (or the more modern counterparts realized in Instagram or whatever -- same concept, you look at content created or curated by a specific person), and explore through what people they trust point them to. Which is probably a good thing, since exploring the algorithm-curated landscape was usually not particularly great. (I'm looking at you, "Youtube related videos".)

I think the algorithmically curated landscape (e.g. Google search) will retract more and more towards just buying/selling things, because that's a transaction with real money and real things attached, which cannot plausibly be fudged by AI.
