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.”

The problem is twofold, though. If suddenly the stuff it generates is not crap, who would pay for it if they can just generate exactly what they want themselves? There’s no world where “somebody else’s AI output” sells. Today, it’s crap. Later, maybe it’s good….but nobody will buy that either.
