Summary/Abstract: The paper reviews the state of the battle between the aspects of quality and quantity, which is always present in human societies. The battle is expected to end with the victory of quantity. In the fight against quality, quantity found a unique ally with the advent of the internet, which broke down the previous communication monopolies by enabling everyone who connected to the internet to have a public voice. As a result of the emergence of the generative language programs, human beings will be evicted from the house of being and the dictatorship of “das Man” will be completed.
