That entirely depends on what you are buying. If you’re in need of a lawyer to keep you out of the bottom bunk, I’d happily spend a lot more for a little better.

It's fine to an extent, but it kills what happens in the other half.

You can feel it with AI-generated content and responses, in AI-generated art, customer service bots and vibe-coded software. This gradual worsening of everything won't lead to lower prices or a better experience, so it's not really a tradeoff.

I think GPs point is that you'll soon not even be able to make those choices.

Now every toilet on the market only flushes number one. But hey, they're so much cheaper.
