[ExI] Another perspective on AI.

Hello guys,

I just saw this:

https://drewdevault.com/2023/08/29/2023-08-29-AI-crap.html

and based on what I see here, and the fear mongering in my mainstream 
media I thought you might find it interesting.

I do not agree with the article. When it comes to media, what matters to 
me is if I enjoy it, not who wrote it. So I do not see why people by 
default are so negative when it comes to AI generated content.

It seems as if people fear that in the future it will be impossible to 
find good content, and that it will disappear in bad content. But I see 
the potential for more good content and more bad content.

Taking it a step further, perhaps AI-generated content will make human 
generated content even more valuable? Think of artisan beer vs mass 
produced, and this will add another level, AI-produced, which pushes the 
real artisans higher up on the value scale due to symbolism/fashion etc.

Anyway, just a few loose and unorganized thoughts on the subject.

Best regards,
Daniel
