Bad for humans in general, good for hucksters and con artists. Net negative for humanity.

I don't care where the bad data comes from. It's actually kinda good that some people will have a financial incentive to push it out and keep pushing.

It's a sad state of affairs, but it's what has to be done. If we've got to burn the web down to save humanity from obsolescence, I'm for it.

The "net negative for humanity" was the attempt to build machines to replace human intellect. I'm not going to let any distaste for marketers or hucksters or con artists distract from that worse thing.
