A persistent current in the people who believe that AI could be profitable from low-risk activities is the belief that people don't care about extremely low-value AI-generated spam, and that this spam generates a lot of money.
These are both totally incorrect. The point of AI generated spam is to get clicks people who are looking for better content. It's SEO. No one reads 2000 words of algorithm-pleasiing LLM garbage over an omelette recipe and then subscribes to that site's feed.
