That is very interesting, I'm picking up what you're putting down. YouTubers make rampant use of AI art. If nothing else, this era of YouTube will be recognizable from afar.

I do like that many people have learned to recognize the writing style and visual aesthetic, and are rejecting it.

> maybe people will do creative things with it

_Some_ people will do _some_ creative things with it, but most people will use it as a shortcut—as long as there's some kind of output, they couldn't care less about the quality. How much of correspondence is just an LLM summarizing what a different LLM wrote? If the internet wasn't dead before, this is surely killing it.

This is the thing that gives me hope -- inquisitive people who have no idea how ChatGPT does what it does can point out ChatGPT-generated text. It's more difficult with GAN-generated images but in the creative community I am part of, some people are very literate about this already.

There's a lesson in here somewhere, but I'm not sure what it is.

I don't think this will hold for too long. We already had soulless art hanging on the walls of waiting rooms and bank branches, even before GenAI. Rather sooner than later AI products will be indiscernible - even today enough AI outputs are for many - so what then?

I don't know.

But quite a lot of people understand the difference, at a visceral level, between a painting made by an individual amateur artist and a painting made for selling at one of those Fine Art chains, or the difference between something rough and charming and a painting you might have seen in the 90s while trying to locate the loo in a UK branch of McDonalds.

People's instinctive artistic "literacy" is often surprising.
