I was attempting to say that in my first sentence.

I currently have no opinion on art works as my focus is on knowledge and LLMs. I just did a search on Amazon for "child care" and found 40,000 books on the subject. I doubt the world needs 40,000 books on child care so if LLMs remove the revenue stream from these authors maybe they will spend their time writing books the world needs.
