My main issue is that people assume that their AI generated slop is interesting.
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.
AI isn’t inherently evil, it’s just a tool. the real problem is when companies use it to cheap out or replace people entirely. indie dev using AI to document a side project isn’t the villain, that’s just survival. the convo should be about power + intent, not blanket “AI bad” takes.
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.
