Heh. Well, lying about the use of AI is one of the bigger concerns about this tech.

People care where their stuff comes from, largely.

People pay a premium for hand painted portraits even though photography is more accurate.

They'll pay a premium for human created as well. Most people can't afford that premium.

AI that can help discern the origin of images will help with this too.

A subset of people will continue to consume AI generated content.

I also predict that AI copyright trolls will come along and spoil the whole thing for everyone. When there is blood in the water, the sharks show up.

With this much copyright infringement, certain people stand to make billions suing people for the use of copyrighted material.

So, I'd add... use these programs at your own risk. AI copyright enforcement will bring its own poisoning of the well.

And it's the age old story. One person poisons the well, someone else poisons it to get even and civil strife erupts.

LAION unethical data scraping was the first poisoning of the well. And, you might think I'm being a moral perfectionist, but this is the way of reality. People tend not to truly get away with anything, and looking to AI to get away with things is very foolish, and will backfire in magnified fashion.
