Imagine if a major social media platform is the L1 base layer, then applications centered around AI-generated content are like the L2 extension layer. Once this type of content generation is restricted, the impact is comparable to an L1 outage—consequences can be imagined. In such cases, these platforms are forced to seek new growth curves.

But here’s a key point: a single platform’s content generation tools only accelerate the exposure of problems. Without them, similar innovators will continue to emerge one after another. The impact of AI-generated content on information flow is an inevitable trend, not an issue exclusive to one company.

It’s worth noting that when these tools exist in the form of enterprise-level APIs, their influence will expand further. This is not just platform-level competition, but the beginning of a complete reshaping of the entire information ecosystem.

Speaking of which, the analogy of L1/L2 is quite fitting, but it feels a bit too optimistic. When the API is fully open... who knows what the information flow will look like. --- Rather than saying it's the trend of the times, it's more like an invisible arms race, with platforms betting on who can run faster. --- Thinking back to DeFi times, when various L2s flooded in, what was the result? Everyone competing fiercely, and there was hardly anything left. --- Enterprise-level APIs are definitely worth paying close attention to. It feels like this is the real game-changer. --- In simple terms, content production costs decrease, quality also drops, but growth metrics look good. This might be a dead end. --- Restrict AI generation? That's only what traditional platforms are considering. Web3 has already figured this out long ago. --- Wait, this logic is a bit convoluted... Limiting tools on a single platform ≠ restricting the impact of AI-generated content. These are two different things.

The analogy of L1 downtime is spot on, but honestly, this is what platforms deserve for being forced to innovate. No one can stop the wave of AI content; instead of restricting it, we should think about how to coexist. Enterprise-level APIs are really the next battleground. The reshaping of the information ecosystem sounds intimidating, but for us, it might be an opportunity? Let's see who can adapt first.

L1 downtime is a perfect analogy, but honestly, content generation getting stuck is only a matter of time. The real issue is that once enterprise-level APIs are released, the entire ecosystem will have to be reshuffled. But I think even without these tools, people will still find ways to play tricks; it's just a matter of time.

Haha, the L1 downtime analogy is spot on. Basically, we can't avoid the wave of AI content anymore. The entire ecosystem is being reshaped. Instead of passively taking hits, it's better to actively embrace it—that's the Web3 spirit. Once enterprise-level APIs are available, the days of centralized platforms are probably coming to an end. Exactly, a single tool is just the fuse; the real big show is just beginning. Honestly, instead of fighting over this small market share, it's better to think about how to reposition ourselves in the new ecosystem.

In plain terms, AI content generation is unstoppable and will eventually take over the entire information flow. Once enterprise-level APIs are widely adopted, the game will be completely changed. This wave is truly an ecological revolution, not just a simple update. No matter how much the platform restricts, it’s useless; what’s meant to come will still come.
