That led to two further observations.

  1. The traditional days of 10 blue links is in the rear view mirror. (I know, I’m slow…) Few have the time or patience to go to multiple web pages to maybe get an answer. We want the answer, now.
  2. Traditional journalism will never be the same. Why wait for a human reporter to read other reporter’s second or third hand reports, only to write a copycat report with the reporter’s own biases? An AI should be able to report directly from the sources, and hopefully with less bias?
