Why pay salaries to have content hand-created when you can instead just have a large-language model algorithm regurgitate pabulum? Sure, it will lack originality and character, but it's cheap and resembles existing material closely enough that people will be fooled into buying it. And once you flood the market with enough algorithmically generated content, people will lose the ability to discern how generic it all is. Sure, stuff created by actual humans will be notably better, but they'll also cost more, and - sadly - given the choice, people always chose the cheaper option... especially if the cheap option is 'good enough'.
