The deeply unsettling aspect of all this is the realisation that a large percentage of people can’t tell the difference. Ditto on aesthetics, music and emails.

LLMs cease to be useful when they can't be used to scam people into unknowingly reading slop anymore. When the typewriter was invented, no one had to pretend its output was handwritten to get people to accept it. Typing had its own utility. LLMs are scamtech that have no utility outside the scam.
