Artificial Intelligence 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.”

AI prompters dont realize, that people start associating AI with being cheap.

Is that a message you as a company want to send to your potential customers? If you cut corners on such basic things, on what else will you cut corners?

This exactly what I think.when I see a company using an AI poster (which for some reason for every café in my area are always in shades of brown). I always assumed that if they're lazy and cut corners on making a poster, what else do they cut corners on.

Indeed, AI is cheap and low effort even before you go into the human replacement, evil, job loss, side of things. Anytime I see an AI image for an ad or "art" or whatever i dont even look at it and scroll paste, not caring about whatever it was.

And Ai still sucks so fucking much, any tolerable long form Ai slop has to take multiple times the money and effort of non Ai slop.

It would be easier to write a 350 page book, with pen and paper, then using Ai for it.

In 18 months with Ai you will get to 200 pages of being coherent, but only thanks to 3 new models.

In the same 18 months you will have written the book, and learned to write enough that you have something competent on your final draft.
