- The rise of generative AI has been lauded by major figures in tech like Paul Graham.
- A rapid expansion of AI tools is affecting the way the web looks and is used.

Paul Graham, a venture capitalist, entrepreneur and co-founder of famed startup accelerator Y Combinator, on Friday took to X, the app formerly known as Twitter, to complain that a web search of even straightforward questions is being muddied by content that is unclear, in authorship or word, or otherwise can't be trusted.
