The same way that there is now an artificial shortage of diamonds in the world, will it soon be possible to create an artificial shortage of information? Right now, it's taken for granted that among the documents retrieved from a search query on google a good chunk of them are valuable. However, what if you're an anthropologist invetigating current rites among young people and want to see if anyone has written about naked parties on-line. How many valuable documents would "naked party" and teen turn up?
How about if you had various scripts generating documents which actively create fake information, but it doesn't look like search engine loading - the sentences all make sense and there's a rough coherence to it, but the document is not real, and the only reason it exists is to divert attention from valid material. The algorithm for a search is relatively easy to write - the algorithm to determine whether based on the content of a document it is machine generated or not is much more difficult to do.
Why didn't they use this script for the Planet of the Apes movie (written by Sam Hamm, same person behind the first Batman)?
The twist ending here makes sense.
