  Yeah lol it sounds ridiculous. But playing devil's advocate: Perhaps a different form of writing would be a more sustainable career.

  That something can be plainly put doesn’t imply that it’s easy. We can have sympathy for the guy and want to support him while also recognizing the practicality that he’s been walking down a dead end road and needs to change course. Even without LLM’s, fluff writing is ripe for outsourcing to second-language writers in cheaper markets and gets more efficient as those markets optimize for it. It can be a job for a while, but it’s just not a viable career in the long run and opportunities were already narrowing.

    LLM-created writing isn't obviously worse than the typical pennies-a-word stuff churned out for content farms in a lot of cases--especially if the person driving the LLM has some domain knowledge about the topic and can catch any obvious errors. Similarly, SEO often demands some graphic/any graphic to go with a story/blog/etc. and GenerativeAI is perfectly able to provide that--though lower-end royalty-free stock is pretty cheap in any case.
