As there are only so many people and hours in the day, the market for human attention is finite. Hollywood is spending more money to make TV and movies, but its market share is declining. People, especially younger people, are far more likely to watch videos on the internet made by small creators. Needless to say, the small content creators' costs are vastly cheaper. AI is rapidly making them cheaper still.
And it's not just that small creators using AI-generation will displace Hollywood's existing efforts; they are likely to create new artforms that will displace the old screen/broadcast formats of TV shows & movies too. AI-gen artforms, as yet uninvented, may be real-time rendered, personalized for individuals, hyper-niche, etc, etc
This is all part of a surprising trend with AI, its tendency towards decentralization. Some dommerist nightmares see all powerful corporations in the future, but as with open-source AI & robotics equalling the Big Tech efforts, the trend seems more for AI's power to be dispersed.
I reaaaaaaaaaaally want and hope you are right. We can't get rid of all this AI crap soon enough.
You're gunna have a very bad time until you quit hoping that ai goes away. Ai is a constantly developing field that is currently in a massive surge. It's more likely that the internet goes away than it is that ai goes away.
As with the 90s dot.com bust, there will be a handful of winners and a shitload of losers. Lemmy acts like they're so much smarter, "These idiots will lose!"
As you said, AI is not going to go away, only the losers will crash. The winners will profit handsomely.
We nearly all won with dot.com, everyones lives got better. Sure, some people won harder than others, but this was the case with steel, automobiles, agriculture and everything else. We simply can't all be the ones who do the best at using a new technology to profit off of.
