100%, it's like with "Suno" - everyone can create a good quality music/song basically in 2-3 minutes (and vibe programming can only do.... nothing in a few minutes) - how many new great bands and musicions we got )))))
You might not get great musicians from using Suno, but an ad company might decide to just generate a jingle rather than hire a musician to do it. Same with images/videos. The result might not be great, but the companies does it in 3 minutes and close-to-zero cost. Similarly, you can vibe-code a website for a restaurant (that does a very basic thing like display a menu, opening hours, maybe a google map location). It might not be the best, but you would be surprised at the amount of people that are willing to sacrifice quality for cheap prices.
Sure, but it's nothing new - CMSes, website builders, no-code platforms, code generators - AI on top of a website builder can really help and it does help. But not building operating systems or Word from scratch for every person or company - this is just nuts.
I heard a stat on the economist podcast the other day talking about AI music production. They said spotify estimates 40% of songs on their platform are now AI generated. The AI generated songs make up 0.5% of total listening time.
Low quality music made in bulk seems much less useful than low quality code made in bulk.
