The thing that is confusing me the most right now is exactly *where* are the AI summaries getting their information? I've researched this (slightly lol) and the answers seem kind of vague overall but something that keeps coming up are "respected" websites that have clear, concise answers that best fit the query. I'm a publicist so the idea of a little robot vetting digital media outlets for respectability the way PRs do cracks me up a little bit. Lol. And so if they are gathering information from respected media outlets and if most of the media outlets go away, will they still have all the answers to every search query? Or does that information diminish with the closing of sites? Or does the robot hold whatever it had answered before and then gain strength of information as time goes on and the internet continues to expand by nature to spit out an updated answer, media outlets or not? So many questions! Also it's not new by any means, but I always thought the Tunaberry from Court Street Grocers was pretty special. Enjoy!
I ran one of those 500 recapping general interest websites! We were in the third or fourth tier at best, but we wrote good stuff*. It was a flawed time, but at least there was always something interesting to read, for free. I never got into socials, I like my writing meaty, in multiple paragraphs.
Enjoy your sandwiches! Tell us how they all ranked in September.
*We made no money. We got demonetized early because we wrote an article about the secret of squirting and all the ad networks dropped us within days of each other. With no ad networks to answer to, we wrote whatever we wanted. And made no money.
I started a summer bucket list this year and it made me realize how bound to my schedule I am. Why is finding an art class to attend some evening hard? Why do I never go to state parks? No water based activities? All outside of my scheduled habits :/

okay right? like eventually it's just going to be AI summaries of other AI summaries once the real information decays/disappears off the internet...
Court Street Grocers’ Italian Combo
I miss at least half of those recapping sites. Voice! Humour! In-jokes! But I'm sure [REDACTED] are doing their best.

Generally obsessed with this sandwich goal.
