What is the job anyway?

Almost all of the publishing is ultimately funded by ads, therefore the primary job of everyone involved is to generate ad impressions.

What's being attributed to "professionals" in this thread is actually the opposite of what the job pays for.

It is very funny how humans experience reality eh? Like, the literal assignment of a word to something can cause the representation of it in a person's mind (aka the reality) to change. Also weird: it is essentially not possible to talk about the phenomenon in a serious way (participants range of possible actions become highly constrained, and therefore highly predictable).

I really wonder if this normative phenomenon will be able to survive in the age of AI.
