Yeah, you can tell. At least for now.

Most of it reads like a highschooler trying to pad their word count since there is nothing of substance to say.

Agreed. I work in marketing in tech and I have to say, AI is changing the game, but people aren't going anywhere anytime soon.

There is another emerging reality,

we can expect marketplaces to display "latent" products,

which are realized and printed (etc.) only when they are engaged with and ordered.

If you visit an Etsy store, or find an Amazon product listing for that matter, and your order is fulfilled...

...does it matter if it's a product with a market of one? That it was tailored to your "search"?

txt2img is already effectively "fulfilling search by diffusing an answer."

txt2product can already be wired up for some domains.

Soon it will be _most_ domains I imagine.

What place on the Internet isn’t a Market? Even hacker news is a Market of ideas. (The speech recognition automatically capitalized market)

How will we be immunized against this influx of cheaply generated rhetoric? What is the paradigm, what are the tools – technical or otherwise – that will act as white blood cells defending against infection.?

Since when has marketing been honest?

Agreed. I came here to point out that "honest marketing" may be one of the last remaining oxymorons in English.
