Brian Merchant summarizes his reasoning for why the Generative AI hype is now beginning to implode.

"One persisting headache will be generative AI being wielded as job automation technology. It’s going to remain as a threat to artists and creatives because it really can cheaply pump out derivative images and text. The tech companies may lean further into enterprise use cases, insisting it can generate efficiencies if employees are properly trained to use it, for a while yet. It will be used to flood social media with dumb and occasionally disorienting images. And the AI companies may increasingly lean on winning military and government contracts, where a lack of results can be better obfuscated or at least play out over a longer period. So for all those concerned with the deleterious impacts of generative AI, we’re definitely not out of the woods yet."
