If you could replace 3 of your 4 writers with gen AI then they weren't writing content they were writing filler. AIs write noise, not signal.

  It’s irrelevant whether they were writing filler or not, they had jobs, and someone was paying them, which means their produce had some value, both to the publisher and the consumer. Otherwise, they’d simply be cut at some point, not replaced.

    By this reasoning mob enforcers produce value to the society too. They have jobs, get paid and so on. So no, it's not true. Just because someone was paid it does not mean they produced some value. The filler might have been a way to trick consumers into paying attention to ads. This is valuable for the company with the ad, but not the consumer.

      > By this reasoning mob enforcers produce value to the society too. I didn't write that they were producing value to society. Nice way to misrepresent an argument. Also, mob enforcers produce value to their employers, which is who pays them. Who pays the writers making filler? They're the ones who see the value in it, what does society have to do with their arrangement?
