@datarama I thought about this a little bit and realised that I'm actually coming to a kind of... optimistic conclusion, of sorts?
What generative AI seems to be ruining for me mostly is actually my traditional media consumption. Like, as soon as I know generative AI has been more or less significantly involved in something, I am suddenly much less interested in reading, watching or playing it.
As an example, I was fully intending to play Clair Obscur eventually, and then grew much less interested as soon as I heard AI generated textures had been spotted. It was some placeholder graphics they'd missed and they apologized for it. By all accounts it's a fantastic game, a lot of real human thought, art and creativity went into it and I'm probably being kind of unfair to the developers, but it becomes such a quick turn-off for me.
So I suspect the more normalised generative AI use becomes in media production, the more I'm just going to end up checking out of the media consumption economy.
