That alone is worth gold because tech is not a blue ocean anymore - neither from a market opportunity nor from an investor perspective. Your enemies loss is your benefit. They can’t use money they don’t make to mount attacks to dislodge customers, investors, mindshare from you.
Secondly it commoditizes AI. Zuck believes that his platforms ultimately will benefit if there is more content. Because his platforms sell the ability to show YOUR content over the rest, for coin. Just as with news/mobile games, driving the value of your content lower and lower by fostering the creation/supply of more of it is good for FB and bad for you. You have to advertise to rise above the noise. (And no it doesn’t really “affect users”) because they see the same amount of content (attention is finite), it’s entirely FBs discretion across all their surfaces what you see.
