Well, that's one individual who has looked past the techno shiny object that is ChatGPT/AI.

Unfortunately, if the idea behind Moloch [1] has any credibility (which I think the collection action problem does) someone else will _by the nature of the beast_ continue doing so.

I think your wording suggests that it isn't actually useful except as a gimmick, whereas it sounds like OP is if anything upset that it is too effective and might someday replace humans.

I think OP is more disappointed in the base get rich quick hype that’s blown up, after obviously hoping for a bit more of a cultural renaissance.

I don't think a single individual who chooses to "bow out" of AI-generated content will have any impact in the long run. Apologies if my meaning was confused.

Worthwhile posting the counter-essay to Moloch, I think:
