every AI advocate is like "look out specific industry, AI can now create a weird facsimile of what your specific industry makes, very poorly... looks like it's over for your industry"

Look out, lemonade industry. My kid is selling shitty lemonade by the side of the road for 5 cents a cup and people are buying it out of pity. You're all goin' down, suckas!
The rubbish part of that is when clients are like "we got an AI tool to do that so we don't need you anymore kthxbye"
& even if it works out awful for them, maybe they don't come back to you.
& even if they do come back you gotta onboard all over again. Unnecessary stress and waste of time & money.
I do think generative AI is reasonably likely to replace parts of various industries; generally the parts that involve creating art/music/etc. for corporations.
similar to how bread can be made at large scale in a factory setting but smaller bakeries still exist + people still make bread at home
I doubt it. You're assuming AI will produce commensurate results, but it won't (ever probably, but definitely not soon). So, it'll be like graphic design has been ever since desktop publishing was invented. Today, you _can_ just go to Word and use WordArt for your company logo, but who would?
as far as I'm aware, DeepSeek has significantly lower costs (both startup and ongoing) and better turnout than its competitors. it definitely seems to be the one that's most likely to survive (though in general I think the tech is likely to keep existing regardless)
Not true, there's also the ones that are like "We took a feature you rely on and made it hallucinate, spy on you, and burn down the rainforest praise us please"
They really fire people over this shit, too. I don't care how much it hurts the companies that do it - that's its own prize - but people are losing their livelihoods left and right over it.
If you just film the scene you were after and upload the finished version online, AI can create a fever dream doppelganger that lasts for almost 20 seconds
