The savings from cutting labor costs shows up right away. The costs of cutting ppl doesn't show up right away. Neither do the savings from actually fixing things.
The use of LLM's (incorrectly commonly noted as A.I.) -- to "write" articles - IS a "you fool me once - shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me"... type of thing.
I may read an article from a "location"... but as soon as I understand or learn it is LLM... I will stop reading content from that location - and if it is blockable, it will be blocked.
Give me human authors!

Amazing that you're experiencing the same problem as in a densely populated country like NL.
Not only densely populated by people, but also by stuff we mostly export - such as chooks, pigs and cows [2], flowers and consumable plants - all extremely tighly packed together in a farmer-friendly way, and highly optimized using lots of antibiotics and hazardous chemicals (e.g. https://www.trouw.nl/duurzaamheid-economie/glyfosaat-verdwijnt-over-een-paar-jaar-maar-wat-dan~b3a3a83d/).

Trouw · Glyfosaat verdwijnt over een paar jaar, maar wat dan?Het einde van glyfosaat lijkt in zicht. Chemiereus Bayer test een vervanger voor de omstreden onkruidbestrijder. Is dat goed nieuws?

The more your job depends on not understanding something, the stupider your social media posts get.
I just found out that our brain dead, mental midget, group of con-artists and thieves that we call a provincial government in Alberta de-funded a ton of physiotherapy. Soon Alberta will look like a scene Victorian London as we hobble about crippled, looking like we have scurvy from this short sighted, dumb ass decision.
