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.

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