Someone in media claiming their entire staff waw wiped out by an AI company called 
Q.Ai
For context I work production in local news. Recently there’s been developments in AI driven systems that can do 100% of the production side of things which is, direct, audio operate, and graphic operate -all of those jobs are all now gone in one swoop. This has apparently been developed by the company Q ai.
For the last decade I’ve worked in local news and have garnered skills I thought I would be able to take with me until my retirement, now at almost 30 years old, all of those job opportunities for me are gone in an instant. The only person that’s keeping their job is my manager, who will overlook the system and do maintenance if needed. That’s 20 jobs lost and 0 gained for our station.
We were informed we are going to be the first station to implement this under our company. This means that as of now our entire production staff in our news station is being let go. Once the system is implemented and running smoothly then this system is going to be implemented nationwide (effectively eliminating tens of thousands of jobs.) There are going to be 0 new jobs built off of this AI platform.
There are people I work with in their 50’s, single, no college education, no family, and no other place to land a job once this kicks in. I have no idea what’s going to happen to them. This is it guys. This is what our future with AI looks like. This isn’t creating any new jobs this is knocking out entire industry level jobs without replacing them.

I see everyone keep repeating this, but no, some will eat it up. And we just have to hope that group isn’t big enough for it to matter, though seeing how many people on IG like clearly AI-generated bullshit in addition to AI music being semi-popular online, I have zero hope
If this were true ai books wouldn’t be a huge miss that are achieving absolutely nothing, and ai games, and ai video, and so on.
The people that like this stuff are the people engaging with making it. Everyone else is saying “oh, ai” and moving on swiftly.
Freak instances of high quality content get some popularity for being unusually good, the reason they occur is because the rest is viewed as being notoriously shit. Those good ones have value because they are novel, they will not always be novel, when they are no longer novel then their value or interesting-ness falls off a cliff.
Everyone I talk to irl tells me how much they use chatgpt at work
People bought into the propaganda without realizing it
I don’t think they eat it up for more than the novelty. Yeah, some people will continue to uncritically consume slop, but they’ll move on to the next trend and it’s not the same as people finding a cult classic.
