Been there, done that. Being grinded by a writing mill that is. A very well written article, thank you. Still, if AI does disrupt this practice, is it really for the worse? I mean someone still needs to prompt AI and if that low-level writer can make 30 $ in an hour instead of 3 $, essentially producing the same garbage, without selling his soul, what's not to like?
Also, the internet is full of this crap. I worked for someone who had 40+ (!) affiliate sites, filled with products all carefully crafted to actual google search queries, "testing" and "reviewing" them for a shitty pay for the writers.
I tend to see 95% of all content online to be fake. Soon it will be even higher, thanks to AI, but at least the "machine" didn't eat low level writers with no other options for breakfast. Or so.
