did you? this is one of the central points argued by luddites since the industrial revolution began.

i don't know if that's quite the argument the author is making; more that LLMs are inherently incapable of producing content of value (subjective, but I tend to agree).

the adage i've heard that i like quite a bit is "if it's not worth writing, it's not worth reading".
