Don’t get me wrong, there are problems with it, both in the process that modern AI uses as well as the sources that it draws from, however, as of right now ai is just a tool like auto-tune or photoshop.
Even though it will change the media formats that it is attached to, it will not supplant them within the next 5 to 10 years, it will simply transform them.
I just wish companies would stop cramming it into every product and making it the selling point for everything because they can’t think of anything else to do. It’s kind of fun to play with sometimes but it just isn’t useful at all for most tasks that companies seem to want us to use it for. I’m hoping it will be mostly forgotten outside of niche uses in a few years the same way we forgot about 3D TVs or NFTs as soon as the next new tech buzzword got invented
