agreed, it’ll just be automated and even faster now

That’s a very misleading title, since “battles” here is referring to survey results and not actual legal battles. The results make sense though. AI will probably generate the most popular kind of post because that’s what has the most representation in its training data.

The main issue here is what is “popular” changes over time, and is directly related to what is available to the public. So if AI floods the internet with the same style of posts because it’s currently the most popular, that style will quickly become boring, and using AI to get clicks will essentially lead to it writing itself into obsolescence. Until it gets trained or fine tuned on a new dataset which includes its own results, which leads to a separate issue where the training data is objectively bad.

There’s a difference between using AI as a tool and using it as a solution. Though knowing how this society works, it’ll start off as a tool like now, and soon enough the higher ups will wonder why humans are even necessary in the process, especially when they need to be paid, and against everyone else’s objections they’ll get rid of the human verification part and use only AI, and when things go wrong the people in charge will go “who could have seen it coming?”
