Have you been to the internet?

High-quality content rarely rises to the top. The internet as of 2022 optimizes for mediocrity: the most popular content is the one which is best psychological manipulation using things like shock value and sexuality. Just take a look at Twitter, Facebook, or Reddit: it is extremely rare to see genuine masterpieces on there. Everything is just posted to farm as many shares and likes as possible.

If anything, this will result in the cream getting drowned in shit. Not to mention that artists do not get the space to develop from mediocre to excellent - as the mediocre market will have been replaced with practically free AI.



This is a truly cynical take - but by your own account the problem already exists and is widespread before AI even came along.
