Brilliant observation! It's sort of like if you took the most extreme lossy data expansion algorithm -- and then fed the output of that through the most extreme lossy data compression algorithm...

User: "Computer, turn binary 1 -- into everything in the Universe..."

Computer: "OK, here it is..." (spits out a result which is [exa|zetta|yotta|ronna|quetta|???]bytes long...)

User: "Computer, now turn everything in the Universe back into 1..."

Computer: "Processing... this may take some time... please wait..." (puts up progress bar that increments so slowly that it appears not to move...)

"There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened."

Anyway, I could definitely see content creators padding with AI -- and consumers summarizing the content with it...
