It's useful in some circumstances, but businesses are pushing for it in way too many areas. Luckily most have seen the light and that it is no where close to replacing humans. AI can't write a movie that will captivate audiences. (Hell I get bored with character chats after a few messages). AI can't animate a movie. It can't make a video game, or build useful programs.

What it can do it does well. Give you a jumping off point, give you different perspectives, allow you to get started - and I think we'll see it used in that area. For text based AI, it's great at something like "Give me 20 prompts" that can help a writer get started - but we all can tell AI generated content pretty quickly, and it gets dull.

So that's what makes me say it'll be useful in the second area, which is AI slop. Meta and them have discovered that there are a ton of gullible people out there who will happily consume AI slop left and right, roll right up to the trough and eat it down. It can't make a full feature length movie, but it can make a blog post on some half baked subject. We'll see a lot more of that.

I'll fight tooth and nail against it replacing jobs, or having full works from just AI out there. If you want to use it personally, go right ahead. I guess what I'm saying is that my moral compass around it is:

• Generate whatever you like for personal use, who cares
• For public consumption, AI should be used only to generate the "outline" of the content. If you call it done after that phase, it's slop, and it's immoral to publish it. If you want to take the outline and put your spin on it, and use it to build something new, then absolutely go for it.
