Like he said at the end, nobody is reading the garbege.
I think is something g is written by AI the only way to read it is to make another AI to read it and summerize it. Then you still can decide to read the summary or not.
It's probably replacing garbage written by humans that nobody was reading either.
So in this case, garbage content that nobody reads, AI is probably a good idea.
Yeah, the guy's team was writing "articles and blog posts promoting a tech company".
Letting an LLM mangle that isn't exactly a huge loss.
Was this labor even needed in the first place?
It wasn't. It's the advertising\SEO industry, I think. Which is advertisers scamming clients who want to get clients, without clear feedback, and website owners scamming advertisers by sending their way occasional clicks.
Basically irritating garbage, 99% yielding fucks and adblocker installations, 1% yielding unconscious recognition of product and some monies going back. Apparently it's profitable.
I guess the company was providing a kind of UBI? Not sure what will happen when all of those non-jobs disappear…
