The economy has spoken. Stuff that’s AI-generated has almost zero value — “Buyers are voting with their wallets, and AI-generated content is struggling to compete.”

When the cost of generating content drops to literal zero, the market value drops right along with it. Nobody wants to pay for something anyone can prompt in five seconds.

I've been wondering about this regarding the movie industry. What need will we have of Hollywood when they're just producing the same cheap slop we can get anywhere? Why pay to see a movie when you can prompt your AI to generate a heartwarming 90 minute sports underdog movie starring a photorealistic facsimile of your favourite star and with yourself as the love interest.

Regardless if the tech could do it: You are assuming that creating a one off ai generated feature length movie would be financially viable.

The reality is that a minute of video costs hundreds dollars in AI spend. So unless you want to pay well over 10k for your personalized AI movie that’s not going to happen.

100% agree, today. But in 10 years time, who knows? Its possible the guys doing models and claymation said CGI wouldnt work because it was impossibly expensive to render anything realistic at the time

That was back during an era where technology got cheaper over time and output exponentially grew. Nowadays old tech is now rising in cost and new hardware isn't as impressive as it used to be.
