Since I was very young, I've always had a thing for knowing things, I mean beyond the normal human limit. For instance, if you show me something, like an idea or a tool that excites me, you can be sure that I will be spending my next few hours or days on it.

And during my early teenage years I got to know something called the Internet. It was something so cool that it had an answer for almost every question I had, and gave my curiosity a way to be satisfied and a lot of information to explore.

And then something called AI came, which literally made me feel like I'd grown wings, having almost all the information on the Internet one prompt away. Sure, it may glaze sometimes, but it has been a good companion so far.

However, the curiosity that pushed me to learn everything I know now faces a paradoxical threat, one born of the very tools that empower it: censorship.

As we go deeper into AI, and some corporate giants suddenly feel very generous and spend billions or trillions on it, I feel a little scared for its future. I've grown skeptical of it.

With recent studies indicating that AI-generated content already comprises 15–20% of new materials on the web, and suggesting this could reach 90% within a decade, all I see is a future where, instead of verifiable information with references and sources, we will have robot-generated content all over the internet.

I see a future where the companies that own these robots will decide what truth is and what type of information we consume. A future where bots will be the main sources of our information, and as these bots can be heavily censored and easily controlled, I see the world's information falling into the hands of a few.

I see a future where, instead of citing a link from an expert, we will just cite a response or a chat from a bot as proof or a source of our information.

I see a future where profit motives dominate, and perspectives and opinions get squeezed out.

I see the death of open search.
