Small Scale Creative

If Meta wants to start charging premium prices to put their AI features behind a paywall, I'm for it. Please, take them away and keep pumping up that bubble.

I'm not plus or minus AI as I see both sides of it, but this quote and article outlines pretty well how I feel about how it can aid creators.

"Prompting, the act of coaxing AI into creativity with phrases, camera instructions, and style descriptions, has never been about the words alone.

Interesting to see the worry of the snake eating its own tail at Adobe (which is essentially what AI is already doing as it is using AI images to generate more AI images).

"...the problem isn’t just as simple as deciding if it’s good for jobs or not. Adobe makes software for design professionals and if those people don’t have jobs, who buys Adobe software?"

Adobe Staff Worry Their AI Could Kill the Jobs of Their Own Customers AI has the potential to cannibalize the company's users.
