Impressive on the relative quality of the output. And of the productivity gains, sure.
But meh on the substance of it. It may be a dream for (financial) producers. For the direct customers as well (advertisement obviously, again).
But for creators themselves (who are to be their own producers at some point, for some)?
On the maker side, art/work you don't sweat upon has little interest and emotional appeal. You shape it about as much as it shapes you.
On the viewer side, art that's not directed and produced by a human has little interest, connection and appeal as well. You can't be moved by something that's been produced by someone or something you can't relate to. Especially not a machine. It may have some accidental aesthetic interest, much like generative art had in the past. But uninhabited by someone's intent, it's just void of anything.
I know it's not the mainstream opinion, but Generative AI every day sounds more and more like cryptocurrencies and NFTs and these kinds of technologies that did not find _yet_ their defining problem to which they could be a solution.
