That's because seo tools have already turned content creators into robots.
Besides, search engines already deal with a deluge of duplicated and low-quality websites...
Pandora's Box has open for a long time, but automation tools now are more convenient and accessible than ever. I shudder to think at the ammount of drivel that will keep flooding the internet. I concede it will be "fun" (for lack of a better word) to see the eventual search algorithm changes necessary to keep the web useful for research. That, or a massive curation effort. The sad thing is, for such a massive body of knowledge, the curation effort itself will have to employ automated tools, and the algorithms for these tools can eventually be cheated to allow for low-effort content as well.
And honestly, I'm blown away what's possible with it. We're going to see some really interesting developments using this technology in the coming years.
Is it progress? Perhaps. But in a positive direction? No.
Don't get me wrong, AI text processing is awesome. But I'd rather see it work for instead of against me. I'd love to see a tool that can provide me with executive summaries of longer texts or just to optimize information density (which would otherwise take the writer more time he might not be willing to spare).
It smells fishy to me as if it actually worked it would be an easy “take your money, here’s your website” function.
For declarative languages, this could be good. This is the “centaur” period (human + computer was better vs just a human or just a computer) that Garry Kasparov touted, before the computer-only part became better. (Chess was much easier to do play against itself adversarially though, harder to simulate how humans would react to your website so you can’t train it MCTS style).
BUT...
For imperative languages with side effects, we have a long way to go. We would need a completely DIFFERENT model of AI, perhaps closer to Cyc than GPT
I don't blame them. I work in NLP and fear that sometime in the next 20 to 50 years a significant portion of my own work will be automated away by increasingly sophisticated transformers models. This, combined with the increasingly centralization of the means to do effective AI research, leaves me believing that eventually I'll have to change fields if I want to keep making a paycheck...
This is the race to the bottom kind of shit that is designed to help you crank out no/low effort content that search engines like but provide no value to an end user.

before the {{Citation needed}} alarm went off.
Would anyone care to explain what the word "appropriate" is supposed to mean in that sentence?
Most landing page saas apps I've seen price based on page views, which lends me to believe those credits also limit page views. If not, I suggest explicitly stating unlimited page views (or what ever the limit is) if it's unrelated to the "credits" system.
