It will be both. "Content", meant in a derogatory way, will go to zero, ideally on the demand side as well as the supply side because I think the existence of llms drives down the value of filler content in the wild as well. And thoughtful analysis of good writing that llms are not capable of will become increasingly sought after. I can actually see a future where llms help clean up the internet by driving demand away from crap meant to draw viewers toward ads and towards actual human viewpoints and analysis.

That only seems possible if generative models suddenly "break" the attention/ad driven internet as we know it and force in a better model

Its possible that the internet settles into a mediocre quagmire, or breaks into an even worse model (like siloed off chatrooms and subnets)

I said something similar in my response. I think your first point depends on how much reliance on LLM's determines things like quality of writing and general creativity. For now, comedy (which is a big source of reposted content) probably will always come from humans. To the extent that LLM's have invaded comedy, it's from humans using them in funny ways and reposting that.
