I wonder when LMMs and services like chatgpt become as bloated as search engines are today, with their own equivalent of SEO/SEM tools and other unwanted stuff distracting and disturbing accuracy, even if one finally stops hallucinating.

Hopefully not that fast, but I'm pessimistic. The cost of the human bloat will far surpass the current cost of hallucinations. And like we saw with Google, that bloat can become a feature of the content itself, not just contained in the tool.
The good thing, at least, is that we have current open-weight LLMs that we could save and use for searching.
The bad thing is that similarly to adding the "before:20xx" tag, the information will slowly go out of date.
