While I upvoted you, I think there’s still a lot of room in this world for human created content. In fact, I wager it’ll be more important than ever. People will be actively seeking out human-attributable information so there’s someone to hold the buck on where information originated from.
I’m generally pretty pessimistic about the effects LLMs are going to have on the world, but I tentatively agree with you on this point. In fact, a silver lining might be that SEO content marketing becomes worthless, so we’ll have fewer product review listicles that didn’t actually review products, but just did a roundup of other articles in hopes of getting some affiliate link clicks. Genuine writing is usually less directly profit driven, so maybe there will be more room for that in traditional search results hereafter. Still a raw deal for anyone that blogs or writes tutorials and now OpenAI makes money off of them.
