Economist Miles Kimball takes the contrarian side of the AI-content debate: what matters is product quality. Deceiving buyers into expecting high quality and delivering junk is a scam, but a genuinely high-quality work should by default not be judged by how it was produced. He adds that purely human-made books can exist as a small niche market, provided those making the unusual "purely human" claim are honest about it.
