Cool technology and application.
And yet, it feels as if all mainstream media, social and otherwise, is going to become AI-generated slop.
AI-generated slop trained on AI-generated slop, all the way down.
Sigh.

I'm not saying AI isn't enabling it by the way, just making an observation that businesses only see the money in this, and it could be literally anything else, it just so happens to be generative voice.
EDIT: Creative people can do creative things with AI, it enables a lot of people who otherwise couldn't express that creativity to do so, but it also enables the lazy and money seeking, it's tradeoff.
That isn't a people problem, that's a capitalism problem.
Not exactly. I'm lamenting the loss of human-generated content, period.
This is prejudice.
Nah, I'm not a "specieist."[a]
My prejudice is only against slop... Although I don't want to see human-generated content disappear.

I wasn't being sarcastic, but I wasn't really 100% serious either. I suppose I was really trying to get beneath the kneejerk "AI bad" response and provoke some thought.
Obviously we don't need to afford AIs the same rights that we afford humans. (I think?). But it definitely is prejudice to assume that content will be slop just because it's generated by an AI.
To be clear, LLMs are not people, nor are they sentient.
You child is taught by an AI that follows them through their development, instead of different teachers each year that expose them do different points of view. And with an AI always with them, no need to actually go to a physical school.
Your exercise classes are replaced by an AI instructor (custom tailored to you, aka considers like 3 factors) removing that pesky need to leave your house or have any human interaction.
Drones deliver your groceries/restaurant prepared meals removing the need to leave your house.
When you do leave, you use a driverless Uber to get where you are going so need for any human contact.
Man, good thing we aren't already suffering from a loneliness crisis. But hey, we'll have the AI consensus algorithms blathering the same bland most predictable responses at us using the mindset of the pre-2022 internet (forever), so if you like Wonder bread in verbal form you are going to be friggin stoked!
