    Best part? People using AI to make free pics are hastening the bubble collapse. Altman said he was surprised to learn their new $200 tier customers were still not profitable. AI “art” and graphics are also winding up a hella backlash. Someday soon enough people will regard that whole style as unbelievably gauche.

    Bring on the AI pics! I’m fine with all that. :)

      Fine by me if they go bankrupt! Doesn’t affect local models or their usage one iota.

        I don’t think you understand the economics involved. Most of America’s GDP and stock market gains are tied up in AI. Total stock valuation vs. GDP (Buffett Index) is at 230%. It was 119% in 1929 and 2008. We’re looking at a planetary recession, at best. It won’t be the tech bros suffering.

          Oh, I understand it. I just recognize everything is too far gone to care. I’m blithely apathetic.
