AI: The End of Writing as a Profession or a New Beginning?

What I found spectacularly interesting (and no one else) was the long forgotten spectacle of professional writers hating on the PICS3 content rating system.

To butcher the spec:

(Not getting into the logistics to much) You could create your own rating service or use a 3rd party rating service. You could use the rating service to rate things you've found online or use it to rate your own content. You were free to use whatever scale and units of rating you could imagine. Say Mormonity, Alienness, article length, grammar how javascript the article is or the spagetticodiness. A demo site rated by canadianness. Then you could aggregate those into ratings for the author or the website or create a dedicated rating system to fit.

Apparently a lot of accomplished writers hated nothing more than to be exposed to crowd sourced ratings. The writing was most unprofessional and full of nonsense like associating the protocol with parental oversight and the great wall of china.

Ironically the parental oversight industrial complex were the only one to embrace the protocol. With all the free advertisement they had a good thing going for them. It was even implemented in Internet exploder.

Meanwhile, as an unaccomplished writer universally not liked by readers, I wondered what kind of www we could have had. In stead we got mega corp automatons to select content for us by useless nonsensical metrics with a memory hole design to trash everything older than 5 minutes.

The fun seems to be in crudely rating things and getting less crude results. I would love to be a 10 out of 100 technology blogger with a complexity of 23 out of 100, a sarcasm score of 87.6 out of 99 and 76 accuracy out of 100.0001

I think LLM's could actually rate consistently and rather accurately by whatever words one provides. Say, hackernewsiness, educationalness or boomerishness.
