Nicolas Cole argues that when AI makes raw facts free and abundant, what people actually pay for is curation. A trusted curator who filters noise, identifies what matters, and packages it clearly saves you time and lets you skip the overwhelming task of separating signal from noise yourself.
more and more where the world is headed, the primary value of information is not actually the information itself, it's the organization of information.
