Completely agree.
My use of ai now is very niche, which means i can train it to do exactly what i want it to do on a pre-determined data set, nothing more and it copes very well with that.
But if i was google and quantum computers came into play i would kill seo.
Page 1 for search would be a chatbot and ads only. So, the only way you leave would be to click an ad.
Even that will be somewhat tricky, because..
To train an AI, you need data.
Where does that data come from?
Humans, people, the world.
If Google just trained on everything out there, then stopped sending any traffic to sites, then people would stop writing.
Who will then review the latest games?
Who will write about their travel experiences?
Who will test that new toaster people want to buy?
Until we have AI that have actual live input/output and can do things like, play games, drive cars, test products and create content *based on the world* and not just based on other content, we still need people to create sites and write.
Otherwise, we just have one AI that's reiterating everything already on the net.
Quantum computers will spark the change imo, but it won't come overnight.
In 30-40 years we are very unlikely to have an internet or world like we have today though. By then, we'll have an AI general intelligence and the world be unlike anything we could imagine.
