This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Soon we will need AI summarizers to extract the tiny grains of useful information out of those bloated, AI-generated articles. We'll come full circle, except everything is a bit more crappy and some people make more money...

Like SEO on steroids, articles written by AI will become longer and longer, while AI will try harder and harder to summarise it all. Article size will grow exponentially.
