Well, of course. 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'.
