I don't disagree with you. I don't think that LLMs (or any other technology) filtering 'to meet my needs' ought to be my source of art, music or other worthy media. And part of the joy of picking up a printed newspaper or magazine is the sense it has been shaped for a wider audience, not just me, with a stronger shade of objective than subjective.

The point, though, is that if I'm following an ML arXiv feed and I'm interested in recommender systems, I really don't need to trawl through everything on interpretability, image generation etc. to get there, no matter how artful those papers are.
