Let me try that.
Most algorithmically generated content is... not worth paying for. Of course, 'in the future' AI will get better, and AI slop will disappear, says the man who's invested heavily in AI systems.
Much stock market and sports score reporting has been generated for years. That works when you have regularized inputs and narrow outputs. This is 'convert this table to text in pre-defined paragraph formats' and not that complicated. Will AI tools help content creators? Sure? Will it make content creators go away? Some. Others will use AI tools to generate even more content.
As for no-human-in-the-loop podcasts/YouTube channels? Those audiences of ten people that marketing f***wits are convinced will be 'microtargetted' consumers / voters are likely to be 90 per cent bots. It'll just be a huge waste of electricity.
We have narcissistic CEO types, tapping away in ChatGTP all day, and the LLMs are providing a narcissistic feedback loop. In public companies, axis 2 cluster b personalities tend to group in management, and with LLMs telling these maniacs that they're blessed with cosmic insights, management has become insufferable.
The only good benefit I have seen from AI is that marketing f***wits have all been laid off.
They're special.
I've been saying the same thing about Agile for years. If Agile is so great, why don't you want Payroll to use it?
Decades ago, this was a great company. They made analogue bench test equipment that's probably still in use. Now, not so much. Back in 2006, they hired PI to try to plant spyware on at least one reporter's computer.
Nowadays, HP - not even once.
And they make us do a war dance every morning, praising the virtues of AI. The only really good thing AI has done is got rid of marketing departments.
Opportunities are usually disguised as hard work, so most people don't recognize them.
