It appears the vox populi are speaking. Demand for this product is, as marketers would say, soft. In fact it's downright flaccid.

As #news organizations start to rely more and more on #AI generated content, we will begin to see total recursion in the large language models as they consume their own content like a cow chewing its regurgitated cud.

It may be the world wide web, but it's still the laws of France, Greece, and Spain that dictate what you can do in their countries. And they don't have a Section 230 to protect you Elon.
