  • Your definition of organic traffic is off-standard.

    Fair.

    The VAST majority of the web would have almost no traffic without web searches. It’s not like people flock to sites from talking about it around the water cooler.

    Which is a shame, tbh. We had far better content, when people had to work to create good content, that others wanted, and got passed around.

    ie, in school, before search engines, we all knew about Whitehouse.com… We all knew the sites that had the info we wanted/needed at the time.

    In fact, I’d argue the downfall of the web as an actual useful tool came about once search engines automatically started indexing, rather than submitting site maps to a page like OpenDirectory to have your site cataloged, indexed, and sorted into appropriate categories by a human.

    Because once people started working on “gaming algos” rather than “Making super good content”, the internet just became the new “Malls” where you weren’t expected to learn, you were just expected to buy.


















  • I said “inspired by” and not “exact digital replicas”

    its not, though. Its best described as inspired by a big pachinko machine, with weighted pegs.

    It is almost in no way inspired by. Thats just propaganda being put out to make AI more palatable, and personable.

    There are a bunch of different artificial neural network types, most – if not all – inspired by biology. I wouldn’t be so bold to reduce them in that absurd manner you did.

    I would be, because it’s factual.

    If it was “inspired by” it would be able to tell the difference between running over a person, and avoiding a car, by example. It wouldn’t start hallucinating when asked simple questions, because a biological brain acts in congruence with it’s inputs.

    Which happens because of a web of interconnections and spanning of multiple sphere’s, with two major ones acting as checks on the other. Which is nothing like any current AI model.

    In current models, each token has a limited number of interconnects, and always to a neighbor node. That is nothing like a biological neuronal network.
