Do you imagine a future where journalists are AI agents, writing better than humans? Probably not, because where would they get the news from, right? But now imagine a future where AI journalists receive raw news from people all over the world. Their job is to verify, organise, and turn that information into a news article.
What about books written by AI agents, based on stories submitted by thousands of writers? Or software built by AI, based on recommendations and code examples from developers everywhere.
These agents are just machines processing the data we feed them. And that data will fuel the economy. It will create value, and the more data you produce or control, the more influence and wealth you'll have.
Those who can't contribute data may end up living on a universal basic income.
This comment also stinks of trite LLM output with the breathlessness and total ignorance of how unreliable and inappropriate LLMs are for the overwhelming majority of things you're describing.
Oh, want to live in a world where your "news" is just hallucinated nonsense? Already in it. The media is having a very rough time and LLM garbage is everywhere, diminishing the signal-to-noise ratio.
As for users submitting stories, we already see mass propaganda via AI on social media platforms with how it sways trending topics, opinions, and even targeted harassment.
Who wants to read an AI-generated picture book let alone pay for one? If an author couldn't be bothered writing it, why would people be bothered reading it or paying for it if they could just prompt their own slop in your fantasy world?
Vibe coded slop is security disaster after security disaster.
Businesses using LLMs to run themselves? You're living in la la land. https://www.anthropic.com/research/project-vend-1
Complete and utter dogshit.

Slop alert.
This isn't NFTs, Web3 or WebGL. It's a language tool that's already changing how we work. Some roles will disappear, some will evolve, and new ones will be created.
Data is the new oil and it will fuel these models until they can think for themselves.
AI can now write essays, summarise texts, solve maths problems, and generate code. Students can do most homework with a prompt, so traditional take home assignments no longer test understanding. But a quick chat can reveal what a student really understands.
So you can light a fire with a lighter, but you won't graduate if you can't start one with sticks. It's up to you.
