They’re creating the problem and monetizing the solution.

Looks like the noise created by AI-generated submissions is going to overwhelm a lot of different systems, leading to similar outcomes - services and opportunities being closed off to most people in favor of only allowing a hand-picked list of the already known to participate.

I thought the internet and ubiquitous computation were supposed to democratize everything and level the playing field

but they seem to have destroyed any economic value in amateur expertise and made connections and credentials more important than ever
