Humans don't scale. LLMs do.

Even if LLMs were actual human-level AI (they are not - by far), a small bunch of rich people could use them to make enormous amounts of money without putting in the enormous amounts of work humans would have to.

All the while "training" (= precomputing transformations which among other things make plagiarism detection difficult) on work which took enormous amounts of human labor without compensating those workers.
