This is what I'm curious about. Someone, a rather large amount of "someones", must be making bank from the AI generated content that is flooding the platforms. Some metric somewhere must be misinterpreted in some way that someone willingly pays for the AI content that no one(?) consumes. The question is where the money ends up and who is paying it.

And anyway, if you can spend $10 to make $11 that's still 10% profit, right? Even if the reason you're making $11 is clicks/views from children and mentally deficient people.
