but not long after ChatGPT got popular, the client was unexpectedly no longer in need of his services
didn't say why but that's the theory

On the worrying side of the fence, the "A.I. stole my job" posts are starting to roll in. As someone who enjoys writing, yikes:
Reddit: Lost all my content writing contracts. Feeling hopeless as an author.
This is the type of content you feed an AI to make it go batshit crazy and try to take over the world.stuff
Artificial intelligence has helped create the last Beatles song.
Paul McCartney Says A.I. Helped Complete ‘Last’ Beatles Song
The song was made using a demo with John Lennon’s voice and will be released later this year, McCartney said.www.nytimes.com
This one is a little misleading IMO, since in this case it was just separating the voice from the guitar on the demo (based on what I read elsewhere, didn't read this article). It did help, but it's not the same way AI has been used for a number of other musical games.Artificial intelligence has helped create the last Beatles song.

We've seen product dumbing-down happen in all areas, especially food, but it also applies to writing:
Frankly, I'm amazed at how many non-nerdy people are adopting ChatGPT. I have IT clients & friends in lots of different industries...real-estate people are using it to write listings, business people are using it to generate custom art for their presentations, even Zoom is using it to do things like automatically write meeting notes:

Killswitch engineer is exactly the kind of honeypot an AI would put out there to kill off any threats to it.
Midjourney 5.2 just came out. One of the features is "zoom out", which is like Photoshop's "generative fill" feature, where it can fill in the gap of a generated image using AI to guess what "should" be there. It does a SCARY good job:
The ability to render human beings from scratch is incredible. These are both 100% AI-generated images, no photography or manual CGI involved!

It's like the geniuses of the world are dumbing down the rest of humanity with their inventions. The intelligent humans will become scarce and then persecuted by the dumb masses. And then there will be only dumb people left on Earth and complete chaos. I hope I'm dead before that happens.LAZY-ass content producers falling back on "Chat GPT" etc doing the work for you because you really can't write yourself, YOU are hereby on notice. Nevermind not reading/watching your AI-generated BS, I won't even be SEEING "your" stories at all.
