$200 per page of quality proof output is super cheap—typical Fermi calculation shows a typical mathematician cost about $100 000 a year, and output about 100* pages of peer-reviewed papers per years at best, so about $1000 per page for pure maths (applied maths are maybe half as expensive ?).
So 1st consequence: every single theoretical scientist get fired. Computer scientist are more expensive and get fired even earlier. Also journalists, lawyers, accountants and basically any job that requires high writing skills.
*wages may be about $200 000 and output as high as 200 pages depending of country/talent/field but the order of magnitude is the same.
Good point—some humans make more than $200 per page of output. Maybe I should have said $2000, or maybe not that it could produce the best-quality stuff, but instead just average-quality stuff.
