AI collapses the cost of “good enough” content in every medium.
Disagree a little - there are media where "good enough" is great. Advertising, propaganda, scams, are all arenas where "good enough" is maybe even better than what we have now, from the advertiser, the Temu Goebbels and the scammers point of view.
I think there are areas where "good enough" (chabuduo, anyone?) won't really clear the bar. Anything were safety or accuracy are required, slop just won't do.
Yes, that's a good point. I don't think the public is ready to accept a vibe-coded medical diagnostic system (hopefully), but software in the app stores specifically is rarely used for mission-critical tasks, and I think that's why it's the next frontier for slop.
