If you think about how much content we're already getting from mediocre artists and writers, how many tv shows are complete garbage, how much governments and corporations are promoting and trolling in online discussions, how many search results are already ruined by lazy copied content, it's difficult to see things getting orders of magnitude worse.

Good stuff will still be good stuff, and it will keep being rare. The biggest change will be that producing mediocre content will be cheaper and more accessible, but we're already drowning in it, so .. meh?

> Instead of replacing crappy jobs and freeing up peoples time to enjoy their life, we’re actually automating enjoyable pursuits.

That's an interesting observation.

Fair assessment, and I agree with much of your premise, though regards "it's difficult to see things getting orders of magnitude worse": Please don't challenge them.

I totally agree that there is a lot of low effort and consequentially low quality stuff out there in the world already. However, it still costs to make that. With this form of automation getting better it will simply become a lot cheaper to produce and is thus going to happen a lot more. So, I expect the ratio to become worse, maybe even "orders of magnitude" worse.
