So the problem is that AI based search engines dont give credit to their source sites because they do not link to the aource site, but instead steal the content in a legally untested method and serve that up.

Nothing to do with links going extinct.

Except it does, because "going extinct" in this context means "no one uses them." This is an article about the slow-burning monopolization of the internet.

To be fair, it isn't aware of what source it's using. It's not "referencing" anything in particular. It's just trained to replicate a bunch of data. It doesn't understand it or anything. It doesn't know what came from one source and what came from another, and how accurate any of those are, or what the context of it is. It just generates something that resembles it's data based on the input.
