The Media industry is already on a steep decline in the United States with a two party democracy in very poor shape. Synthetic media and the impact of GPT technologies is likely the straw that will break the camel's back in terms of America's relationship with journalism, a free media and reading truthful sources of content.

We could be witnessing the end of Capitalism and Democracy as we know it as evidenced by the coming demographic winter. Generative A.I. might be a harbinger not of more profitability and productivity, but more monopoly capitalism and and fake digital eating our institutions like a free media. The NYT has a point, and OpenAI is not a good samaritan in its relationship with media.
