You may generate whatever you want, but if I ask a question, I don't want an AI answer. If I did, I would have asked an AI.
If I look for an image, I do not want an AI image. If I did, I would have asked an AI.
If I look for information, research, papers, opinions, videos, audio, music, etc. I do not want an AI version. If I wanted that, I would have asked an AI.
I think that’s for the market to correct. If people don’t spend money on AI generated products because they’re bad, that’ll send a signal to the company to pivot from their current strategy. If people are spending money on those things regardless, then maybe that’s an indicator that these processes create better output than what was present before. At the end of the day, in the absence of state intervention, the market will pick what’s best for them and consumers will react in ways that may surprise the online virtue signalers.

It reminds me more of the dot.com bubble than any other. I was in college but also working in the field then and saw that one come and go.
It’s like the dot.com bubble in that yes, there is a lot of “there” there, but there is also a ton of premature hype and speculation. What reminds me most of dot.com is how people are shoehorning AI into everything to ride the hype wave. During dot.com there were cases of boring companies adding .com to their name or opening an online division and seeing their stocks increase 10X in 24 hours.
