> Before you know it, there are millions and millions of different books on the same topic, all somewhat unique - in the sense that they've been generated by a LLM, and not copy/pasted like in the good ol' days.

At this point everyone will just need their own LLM to digest all the crap and help the user sort though it.

Now I'm imagining a world full of LLMs, everyone uses an LLM, attention spans are reduced even further, LLMs give instant answers, social media algorithms become even more effective. And yet, LLMs get things wrong in this new world, LLMs produce content other LLMs consume and mistakes spread. Someone discovers the LLMs are wrong, they try to spread the word, but people are skeptical and believe their LLMs instead, and attention spans are too short to have a real dialog about the matter. Falsehoods propagate. -- Sounds like a Black Mirror episode.

Sounds like "Fall, or Dodge in Hell" by Neal Stephenson.
