It's, I'm aware of that. But you don't seem to be aware of the fact that most cultural output (and yes, that includes Reddit shitposts) is produced by a small minority of people. Most people never contribute anything. So however shit the AI slop may be (which I'm not in any way denying), it's still better than what the majority of people can manage. Just look at the percentage of people that are functionally illiterate.

Im sorry dude but if your argument is reddit and stackoverflow are the basis for being "better than what the majority of people can manage" then I just have to respectfully disagree.
