HN – Ask HN: Why does it matter if no one reads your novel as long as the AIs do?

AI can in principle surface content that you create that no humans consume directly. And it could even credit and financially compensate you whenever this happens.

So it seems that you can have a creator-only economy where all humans create and the AIs do most of the consuming.

And stuff that the AIs surface in their replies allows humans to indirectly consume some of your content (in which case you would be credited and financially compensated) and perhaps even lead to them directly consuming it as a result of the free advertising.

Do you think this is workable as a future model for creation and consumption (and not just for novels)?
