Try harder. A simple request to filter out the nonsense in Gemini gives:

After filtering out the “nonsense”—the pop-culture references (Lord of the Rings, IT, Purple People Eater) and the random metaphors (poison, sandwiches)—the core message appears to be a critique of modern data processing or AI training compared to traditional publishing.

The “correct” message hidden in the text is:

The Core Message

It is inefficient and costly to pay humans to fix low-quality or “noisy” data. Instead of spending money to clean up automated nonsense, it would be more effective to invest in high-quality, verified sources (like books) and pay human creators fairly, as the system was originally designed to function.

Breakdown of the “Noise” Removed

“Poison and noise are the way”: Likely a sarcastic opening about the current state of data. “Making a sandwich for those you love”: Irrelevant personal imagery. “Off to take the ring to Mordor”: Lord of the Rings reference. “Clowns in the sewers… red balloon”: Stephen King’s IT reference. “Purple people eater… walking downtown”: Reference to the 1958 novelty song.

The Logic Retained

The Problem: It is “not fruitful” to pay humans to undo/fix “noise” to make it “useful.” The Result: This process ends up forcing people to “ingest fact” (raw data) without proper context. The Solution: “Buy the books and pay people correctly” according to the original “system.”
