Comment on Video game actors' union calls for strike against 'League of Legends'

And that’s the important part: “yet”.
AI is fairly new, so it only has human-created datasets to work off. But at some point, it’ll either generate original content on its own, or rely on content already created by other AI.
The quality and originality of this content will probably be stale, but enough of it will be generated to make money and keep people interested, that I don’t think it’ll matter. The enshitification of the arts is rapidly upon us.

What you’re describing there is called model collapse and it’s not a good thing. A generative AI ouroboros accumulates error until its output is useless.

We’re already seeing this, but I don’t think that will stop people from using AI (with some human oversight). Countless articles are being generated each day using AI, just so that someone can publish a garbage website that gets a lot of views, and reap those sweet advertising dollars. The quality of the content on the internet is eroding, and i don’t think we’ll be able to put the genie back in the bottle.
I’m seeing more and more legitimate websites no longer using stock images, but AI generated images for their photo content. It’s just too easy, so why wouldn’t they, right?
