AI collapses the cost of “good enough” content in every medium.
Disagree a little - there are media where "good enough" is great. Advertising, propaganda, scams, are all arenas where "good enough" is maybe even better than what we have now, from the advertiser, the Temu Goebbels and the scammers point of view.
I think there are areas where "good enough" (chabuduo, anyone?) won't really clear the bar. Anything were safety or accuracy are required, slop just won't do.
If you use the App Store the way the people run them want you to (browse instead of using the search that they hide in a corner) you will find it is already 99% slop. I make a point to only install an app by name if I know the brand (e.g. McDonald's or Taco Bell) or if it is something really famous (e.g. Arknights, Fate Grand/Order)
If you just go looking for a "game" I'm certain whatever you find won't be fun at all.
Yeah it’s already here. The attention economy is about to become a whole lot more expensive
