In 10 years, content written by actual humans will be a premium niche, like tailored suits - reserved for the elites.

The rest of us will be force-fed with machine-generated garbage.



That doesn't makes sense, text can be distributed at marginal cost, tailored suits are expensive because there's not a lot of supply.


Tailored suits used to be cheap too, but taylors went out of business due to mass production.


There was an old science fiction novel set in a world like that. I've forgotten the name, but they called the robot-written stuff "wordwooze". (It doesn't work as a search term because some publisher is using it now.)

Added: it was The Silver Eggheads by Fritz Leiber. An odd, forgettable book itself.
