    In the world of arts/media, I think AI basically only has a future as a hidden thing. Openly admitting that you used AI to make something will be used against you, in order to dismiss your work. For a lot of people/things, it already is - see Hank Green, or the daily comments about "I don't want to read what you didn't write."

    Expect a massive marketing reversal in 6-12 months, when every "AI-powered" company removes the keyword from their home page.

      This is super naive. And does not follow any other productive technology's trajectory.

        This is directly what happened with CGI.

          Sorry, I replied to the wrong comment here. I think that CGI is not hidden or swept under the rug, despite initial negative reactions in a number of circles, and has come to be accepted and beloved in media production, even being the standout focus of many productions. I think AI in media production will likely follow a similar arc.
