In have a friend that recites all day amazingly long pieces of literature by heart. He says he just wrote them. He also produces a vast number of paintings in all styles, claiming he is a really talented painter.

So when everyone in the world starts going to your friend instead of paying Reuters, what happens then?

Reuters finds a new business model? What did horse and buggy drivers do, pivot to romance themed city tours? I'm sure media companies will figure something out.

So who and why will produce the news for your friend to steal? The horse and buggy metaphor is getting tiresome when its used as some sort signalling of "progress oriented minds" and creative destruction enthusiasts versus the luddites.

Someone who realizes that the raw information has no value in the age we're entering. Influencers have shown the way, brand and community engagement are the new differentiators.

		This makes no sense. How can you source objective facts about the world by further devaluing and undermining those who's job it is to do it? Influencers are parasites that have been made possible by broken, user-hostile platforms. You are advocating for a deranged, dangerous world, where demagogues rule over large masses of idiots that can't tell the difference between AI junk and reality.
