I am positive this will settle down at some point, but the difference will always remain about your own abilities, not that of AI.
In many markets, yes. If you're a software buyer, for example, your inbox, LinkedIn, etc. is filled with AI-generated sales outreach. And you know it's AI.
But keep in mind that there are tons of markets (think local services) where buyers aren't familiar with AI. They don't know that what they're reading was produced by AI, and they wouldn't care.
In these markets, if you use AI, you have a realistic shot at being "better" than your competition, and if you use it even a little bit more effectively, it can make a real difference.
It does not matter of they are drowning in it. If their inbox is filled with slop pitches, whether AI or not, they will stop reading.
The music business is really the perfect example.
You can argue it has never been easier to break through in music.
You can also argue that it has never been more difficult.
I think what all this ultimately does is make it harder for the person who would have been doing the activity regardless.
There are a few on the margins that would not have had opportunity but now do. Most of those though are just noise generators making life more difficult for the person who would have been there either way.
