McDonalds serves a need: human tend to get hungry.

What need does filling the Internet with AI-generated slop serve? No one is ever going to read those. As I've shown, sometimes they're not even selling anything.

The multi-trillion dollar business is for hyperscalers, but I don't get what slop creators get out of this. What are they spending money for?
