You can't. "quantity over quality" is the most efficient path to maximum profit with minimum cost, thus the path capitalism will always optimize for, given no other incentives. Capitalism will capitalize, and AI looks as much like a magic money machine as any technology ever has.
The only thing that will stop this behavior is if AI generated content is proven to be less profitable than human generated content, which is a possibility if quality drops low enough, or the capabilities of AI versus cost stop making financial sense. But that has to happen at scale, and it might require a collapse of the tech industry in general, because everything, everywhere will be integrated with AI at that point.
- kristopolous 3y agoRight. I'm a not so pure anti capitalist; I see the tendencies of the system and I don't like the results. I strongly believe we can do better but it's complicated and hard. I've been working in startups, equity, fund raising ... I have a large portfolio and do lots of investing so my views are conflicted and complicated - the most profitable stuff we're making isn't great.
