>> The problem is not: how to quickly and cheaply create content which is marginally less mediocre and marginally more accurate than what we currently have

I don't think they're trying to achieve these things at all. Look at the broken incentives you raised in the first part of your response, that's what this is about, and all this is about.

Content creators mostly don't care about how mediocre their output is, and they mostly don't care about how accurate it is either, as long as the clicks keep coming.

We don't need (and can't expect) ChatGPT to "fix" this, the underlying problem is the broken incentives, not the actual quality - or lack of it - in the content.
