It seems to me that these people in general are fairly unhappy people, and despite the popular saying, it is my understanding that money can bring happiness in the form of stability.

    because it takes luck and a certain kind of unethicalness to do so. IE you can go in there and have chatgpt write you 20 romance novels etc… and publish them on amazon. but more likely than not they will all be buried and all you are really doing is making it less likely for a real up and coming artist to be discovered. Point is most of the AI slop requires some kinds of connections or something to make it actually make money… 99% of it is just trashing the environment and making long shot legitimate creations even less likely to be discovered.

    In short most of us aren’t looking to make the internet and the world worse, for what effectively amounts to a .01% chance to make money… most of those who actually manage to string it out and make big profits before the bubble pops are ones who already have a lot of resources and connections to do evil and unethical things already.
