Billy Markus, known on Twitter as "Shibetoshi Nakamoto", has published an alarming prediction regarding the potential impact of AI on Internet users and businesses reliant on web traffic in the near future.
Markus also shared his concerns about the training methods employed by AI, expressing dissatisfaction with the prospect.
"Search Engines Moving Toward AI"
Markus contemplates the future of AI development and its implications for businesses heavily reliant on the Internet and search engines, as well as the impact on average Internet users and their preferred methods of accessing information online.
In a recent tweet, the co-founder of the original meme cryptocurrency Dogecoin anticipates the next few years to be "interesting." He then outlines his perspective on the impending advent of AI-based search engines.
the next few years are going to be interesting search engines moving toward AI -> people won’t visit websites for info -> companies that rely on search engine traffic will go out of business -> AI will get trained not by journalists but by random comments from you and me -> ???

Markus suggests that as search engines increasingly adopt AI, a significant number of Internet users will cease visiting websites to retrieve information. This trend is likely to drive businesses that depend on search engine traffic out of business.
Subsequently, Markus asserts that AI will be trained not by journalists but "by random comments from you and me" (likely referring to posts and comments on Twitter and other social media platforms). The ultimate implications of this training method remain unclear, as Markus either cannot envision them or chooses not to elaborate.
Elon Musk's "Black Mirror" AI Warning
As reported by U.Today, tech magnate Elon Musk has expressed concerns about a new feature called Recall, released by Microsoft as part of their Copilot AI. Recall aims to create a "memory" for users by continuously capturing screenshots of all activities performed on Windows-powered PCs and laptops, including websites visited.
These screenshots are processed by the AI, allowing users to review and search their "memory." Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella has assured users that this data will not be incorporated into the company's databases.
Musk has likened this feature to an episode of the dystopian television series "Black Mirror" and has stated that he will disable the feature in the future.
