They may not exactly be posting 'buy xyz here <link>' but they can use LLM's human like sentences to advocate for/against whichever product some company wants. A lot of people rely on google searching "best monitor for Mac Reddit" to get reddit results. However, with LLM, these no longer seem reliable.
I guess that can be spam but I'm not seeing a ton of that either, so it's still not obvious to me we're losing this or that war
The thing we're losing is the open web where anyone can view any page and buy any product they can afford without being banned (edit: or, reading back up what this was about, contributing to projects without the input going to /dev/null apparently)
