Especially if it's not disclosed up front, and especially when it supplants higher-value content. I've been shocked how little time it's taken for AI slop SEO optimized blogs to overtake the articles written by genuine human experts, especially in niche product reviews and technical discussions. However, whether or not people like it is almost irrelevant. The thing that matters is not whether economics likes it. At least so far, it looks like economics absolutely loves LLMs: Why hire expensive human customer support when you can just offload 90% of the work to a computer? Why pay expensive journalists when you can just have the AI summarize it? Why hire expensive technical writers to document your code when you can just give it to the AI and check the regulatory box with docs that are good enough? | ||

Eventually the economics will correct themselves once people yet again learn the old "you get what you pay for" lesson (or the more modern FAFO lesson) |
