The Culture: The Bots Will Finish Killing Off The Industry

Roll For Combat violating people's illusions yet again.

It's the same thing, again: the bots will take over the industry because competitive pressures will force it to happen.

Despite all of the tangents--and there are so many of them--here's the takeaway: this contributes to the Colony Drop's devastating of Muh Industry. Early on it adds to the slop, but that's very short-term; once a critical mass use the tools for personal use (such as within a Clubhouse) the PDF Slop Merchants die off hard and fast.

There is no reason to pay money for anything that you can generate bespoke content on your own with the use of bots. None. The market collapses. You've seen my previous posts show that Grok--on the free tier--is already capable of spitting out all of the text you will need; all you need to do is check for rules-compliance. Other bots are better already, and they're not going to stop improving anytime soon. We are at the point now where the people who'd pay someone else to do their imagining for them will instead prompt bots to do that for free because the bots are more convenient.

Art? Free. Content? Free. Compliation into something you can get printed via Print On Demand? Free. (And you can just make that available at-cost.)

The Industry is dead.
