IMO it’s best to just stop worrying and embrace it as the end of days for the field.

These are the last good ol’ days you will have before it’s all over. Worrying about it won’t change the future. Just try to focus on all the good AI does.

A lot of us spent substantial parts of our careers automating other folks out of jobs. But now that it's come for us, we're upset.

It's not that as much as the usual something new, complain about rapid change.

s/software engineers/filmmakers/

filmmakers have the most to gain here, now anyone with a good idea for a story can just prompt out their own full length movie or tv show.

Before AI: 90% of everything was crap

After AI: 99% of everything is crap

... but there will be >10x more of it, so we'll ultimately end up with more good stuff.

But since our capacity to experience stuff can't keep up with the sheer quantity of stuff, 99% of the stuff we see will be crap, even if there's technically a larger amount of good stuff in absolute terms.

But not all AI stuff is crap.

There will come a day where some piece of AI content brings a smile to your lips before a tear to your eye.
