    We as humans are already sensationalizing for clicks. I can’t imagine what content is going to look like even in the near future with AI at the reigns.

      The solution is the same as with the current shitty clickbait of today, ignore it.

      If they automate shovelling useless crap (which they’ve already done quite a bit without the likes of chatgpt) then it’s on the user to say “I’m not just gonna consume your crap, I’ll go elsewhere with my views, which are your success metric, in aggregate”
