    It could. In fact it will make that part of the Web yet another step closer to a bot-populated SEO-infested graveyard where a living human will find nothing useful.

    If only my friends would stop using VK to communicate, and my family FB for the same.

      Hate to say it. But we’re already here.

        I’m too young, but I think I’ve read that we’ve already been there, when expert systems written in Lisp were all the rage, and you would write them questions. Of course, the percentage of humanity to ever see such a system was slim.
