Unfortunately, technology has now reached such a scale that the people behind the spreadsheets are willing to sacrifice humanity itself.
That, too, is not surprising, because they will only realize their mistake when it is already too late.
Another example of the same principle is climate change.
I have no idea what you’re getting at, but it’s a fact that every minute - if not every second - AI-generated content is being published that you could never read in your entire lifetime.
That’s the scale we’re talking about.
Try to imagine what that might mean for people who make a living doing anything that could even remotely be called creative work.

Its not the world falling apart, just what we understand to be culture.

What we understand to be culture changes every fifty years or so. Have you waltzed to a harpsichord or taken the family to a public execution lately? Now, THAT was culture.
