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…
