Maybe, on a social level, we all win by letting AI ruin the attention economy:

The internet is filled with spam. But if you talk to one specific human, your chance of getting a useful answer rises massively. So in a way, a flood of written AI slop is making direct human connections more valuable.

Instead of having 1000+ anonymous subscribers for your newsletter, you'll have a few weekly calls with 5 friends each.
