I’ll just say that while I appreciate and respect your POV here Ammon, I almost completely disagree. This is so different, my concern is that thinking it’s basically the same is going to strand people who could have otherwise shifted. But, different POVs are entirely OK. 🤝🙏 - ThreadSky

Maybe we're missing each other's perspectives? For me, there's still a relevancy algorithm, it is just that instead of it being wrapped as a search engine, it is within the processes of the AI. It is still 'searching' its database for relevancy and outputting results. It's "I'm feeling lucky" plus.

I think of it as simply a level of abstraction, of distancing, of the search process - but the process itself is still there, behind the scenes, and we still have the ability to analyse how those signals are built, and ways in which we might most efficiently influence them.

The biggest real difference is that the 'black box' encompasses more - e.g. the massive effect of an undisclosed 'training data-set' and the inherent biases this can give an AI with literally no oversight for fairness (or even legality) right now.

For me, search was always just a specific application of 'probability math', and Generative AI is also just a specific application of 'probability math'. To that extent then, from that abstract, I see less change than perhaps others do.
