I have a blog. Been writing on that for 7 years. Should I care if AI in search is taking away traffic? If yes, why? I’m not writing for traffic. I write because I enjoy doing it. People find my way mostly thanks to other people linking to my site. And a solid % of traffic comes from RSS anyway.
I think giving up on the web because of AI is the wrong move. You should still create and focus more on connecting with others directly, when online. Get in touch, write emails, sign guestbooks.
I’m personally having great exchanges daily with people from all over via email and that won’t stop because of stupid ChatGPT or whatever.
And don’t get me wrong, it’s awesome to spend more time offline so if you want to do down that path it’s great.
The only reason to put things you write online is to make it available to others. If writing simply for my own enjoyment or reference I write in my notebooks, as I do all the time. I never stopped doing that.

I just don’t think it’s the only solution.
