i just really dont think it "encourages" that though
it enables people who dont have skills to make more stuff that MIGHT be good, the thing with "ai slop" isnt the "ai" part, its the "slop" part
typically if you develop a skill ur gonna develop some sort of taste and judgement, and if u have high IQ u might be good at it
ai in this case is a force multiplier tool, if u were a retard that doesnt csre about anything, you wont DO anything anyways, because 0*10000 is still 0
if you were going to make garbage and you are a retard, yes thatd bad because instead of making 1 turd you will make 10000 turds
but for the person that was going to do something worthwhile, now you can be 1 guy and do the work of 5 or 10 coders AND artists AND researchers etc. etc. in a shorter amount of time and with less effort, it becomes more important to have good judgement, taste, ideas, design, and so on
it will allow rly good things to come out, if people have THE WILL to do it
and word of mouth will become more important so u dont have to sift thru all the slop that algorithms want to feed u
but all in all i am fairly optimistic from an artistic/entretainment standpoint
In regard to AI i am far more worried about its usage in shitting up politics, history, truth in general, that is the BIG BAD with ai, having people overwrite history and making shit up
but for fiction its fine
