this is a fair response, and to be honest i was skimming your post a bit. i do think my point somewhat holds, that there is no “intelligence skill tree” where you must unlock the level 1 skills before you progress to level 2.
i think a more fair response to your post is:
companies are trying to make software engineer agents, not bloggers, so the optimization is towards the former.
making a blog that’s actually worth reading is hard. no one reads 99% of blogs.
i wouldn’t act so confident that we aren’t surrounded by LLM comments and posts. are you really sure that everything you’re reading is from a human? all the random comments and posts you see on social media, do you check every single one of them to gauge if they’re human?
lots of dumb bots can just copy posts and content written by other people and still make an impact. scammers and propagandists can just pay an indian or philipino $2/hr and get pretty good. writing original text is not a bottleneck.
