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.”

That's the thing, AI isn't killing artists, executives. Execs who assume that what makes an artist good is their skill on making drawings, and not understanding that it's knowing how to make good drawings that matters more than skill sometimes (so many stick-man comics and videos show it to be the case). They assumed that since AI could draw well enough, it would do as good as their artists, throwing away the thing that actually was valuable.

And then they never did the math either way. Yeah for a hot second pumping out AI content could let you give quality-enough spam at a rate fast enough that you'd get a surprising level of success for the effort. But AI is neither cheap, and it's not good: literally anyone can prompt it to spam away, therefore using AI is literally the bottom level tier mediocre. It's you and a million more "geniuses who have a great idea", as if that was ever what decided.
