I'm watching Halt and Catch Fire Season 4, for some reason I had missed the entire last season. And they're making competing search engines, one is a curated database by passionate experts and the other is algorithmic. We all know who won historically, Google dominated the space and yahoo type sites fizzled

But now with the advent of AI-generated content where anyone can create endless amounts of crap, I predict niche, curated sites will re-emerge.
