I don't think most normal people will spam their own SNS/blogs using LLMs. If you hate writing, you won't be writing at all, instead of using LLMs to generate stuffs. If you have a message to send, you'll be taking much of your time creating a piece even with LLMs. Obviously, there can be many exceptions here (e.g. trolls, flamers), but the key point is that using LLMs only can reduce the cost of act of writing, but it hardly lowers the barrier of writing itself, especially when there are implications to consider.
So, I think OP(Paul Graham) is basically overestimating people's will to write, probably because he's a such good writer himself.

Nothing will change except the medium for figuring out which way the groupthink wind is blowing.
