what do we think the post LLM internet will look like?

essentially whats happening here is that LLMs have removed the NLP barrier to automating information flow. thats what agentic systems are under the hood, once you realize alot of the "agentic" stuff boils rule-based engines and hand built state machines. and it will be until the next AI winter gives us proper dynamic modelling of an envirenment, rather than static next token prediction

i think RAG replacing the traditional reverse indexing will mean information wont be tightly linked to webpages anymore. meaning no ad revenue and SEO dying. which i think is good for the internet, because ad revenue just encourages information rent-seeking. this obviously assumes AI RAG is reliable.

i think without the ad revenue profit motive, information needs to be generated some other way. journalists and bloggers need to be supported somehow. crowdsourcing like patreon and stuff could help, but that just shifts the capitalism from optimizing for sensationalist clicks, to optimizing for cult of personality, which i think will become the norm for information generation unfortunately. everyone will have to make content, rather than news to do this for a living.

but i think that wont have the pull that ad revenue does. so i think information generation shifts alot more to amateur bloggers and taxfunded government mouthpeices

for actual services, i think we get more supercharged APIs like MCPs and that makes economic activity much less frictionless. its hard to know if this will just be a quantitative change or an evolutionary one

ones this is the labour displacement. how would all the people who were doing the jobs caused by the impossibility of NLP automation make a living? i think going back to the idea the "agentic" is just rule based engines with automated NLP, which is similar to coding (which is just making rule based engines with automated Formal Language Processing) i think "prompting" (designing, implementing and maintaining rule based engines in natural language) will become the new coding (which, again, was the same thing but making rule based engines in formal languages). essentially LLMs are just the next evolution of compilers, and people will learn to use them as such.

what i have no idea about is what sort of evolutionary change this will bring up, the way compilers brought when they replaced writing machine code. i think formal language programming will still be done by people, like machine code is still written, but the newly unlocked natural language coders will far outnumber them. so then what will be unlocked by this higher level of programming? like what will be the internet of the LLM era?
