We're talking about Hitler memes instead? I don't understand your feigned outrage.
The actual valid commercial use case for generative images hasn't been found yet. (No, making blog spam prettier is not a good use case.)
Everything Everywhere All At Once won a bunch of Oscars. They used generative AI tools for some of their post-production work (achieved by a tiny team), for example to help clean up the backgrounds in the scene with the silent dialog between the two rocks.
You're right, nothing has value unless someone figures out how to make money with it. Except OpenAI, apparently, because the fact that people buy ChatGPT to make images doesn't seem to count as a commercial use case.
OpenAI is not profitable and we don't know if it ever will be.
Have we shifted the goalposts from "something people will pay for" to "needs to be profitable even with massive R&D" then?
