Chinese AI commentator argues AI-flavor complaints are snobbery, citing a failed AI writing business

dotey argues that disliking "AI flavor" is a kind of snobbery: in the industrial era there's no need to fetishize hand-made work — judge products by their value and quality.
The quoted post shares a failed venture: the author mined YouTube creators explaining their business models as source material (also motivating his earlier ASR cost-effectiveness research) to build an AI writing product for uncovering business models. It sold only a handful of copies while tooling costs piled up — yet the author maintains heavy AI flavor doesn't negate the content's value.
