Episode Is AI Slop Killing the Internet?

0:00 24:42

AI chatbots are replacing search engines—and in the process, they’re gutting the economics of journalism, reviews, and the open internet. In this video, we explore how tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Google’s AI Overviews are intercepting audiences, scraping content without compensation, and threatening the viability of independent news and trusted information. From collapsing traffic to lawsuits and poisoned training data, this is a story about what happens when the web’s information economy starts to eat itself.
