Is there an original source for this idea that "The use case for AI is spam"?

I've seen it in a bunch of places recently, have people all independently came to the same idea at the same time or was there some big article somewhere that I missed?

I think if you were ever involved in SEO, thinking "spam" as soon as you saw an LLM in action was natural.

You don't need to pay someone 0.01$ per word anymore, AI can do it for you.

Probably the first 2 usecases that came to my mind, after I saw what AI was capable of, were "spam at scale" and "writing papers to get published". Though, the latter is also kind of spam.

It's the byline for this article

Thanks! That's also a really good collection of posts that illustrate the phrase.
