There was a piece a little while back, most probably from Cory Doctorow, about how some humans have already become Reverse Centaurs:

Controlled by a machine and only there to put their names and reputations on the line when the machine messes up.

Maybe this applies more to a writer having to generate 20 articles per hour in some journalism sweatshop, pressured to push out anything that will catch the winds of SEO augmented news, but I would not discount the level of pressure that the author of the blog post was put under to produce something, anything...

Based on the published profile, I strongly suspect that this person is not paid that well at all. you are not looking at a FAANG kind of deal here most certainly.

So maybe spare one second of thought for that future where many many folks are just there to be burnt up in some cancellation machine whilst profit gets accumulated elsewhere...
