It already seems to be decreasing right now.
ive got some bad news for you. its not.
generation will get better and better, you will just be unable to tell the difference… as you have already not noticed.
Yeah such a silly question. It’ll get better and usage will shift towards specific use cases but new generations are gonna grow up with AI. Not going anywhere.
I don’t understand why people don’t think about a future where we can all run our own LLM’s locally and more boutique companies doing things more ethically. Just love to have an axe to grind.

I saw someone in advertising a few days ago saying that using AI generated images in their ads kills their sales with gen Z. Gen Z can spot errors in shadows, inconsistencies in textures, small tells that boomers and gen X largely can’t. As a millennial, I can spot a lot of AI, though every so often something slips through. But when I see a youtube channel with an AI generated image, or a business with an AI generated advertisement, or a game on steam with AI generated thumbnails, I click the three dots and ignore.
I think most advertising companies are going to find that the more Gen Z and millennial customers they have, the less they’re going to want to use generated images.
nothing bothers me more then seeing a shitty ai thumbnail that kinda resembles a videogame and the video itself is nonstop gameplay… tf happened to just a screenshot? it’s cheaper, easier, quicker and shows exactly the game that’s being played… not some garbage that’s mostly unrelated nonsense
The big one is going to be once it stops being subsidised and people have to start paying the actual cost.
I think you have the most sane take. It’s not going to go tothr moon. It won’t go away either. It probably will normalize though, as it finds its place.
How much are the costs though? Isn’t most of it on training rather than just running it. My PC can run an LLM happily enough.
Ed Zitron seemed to estimate that it was probably 4-5x the current going rate, so a $20 ChatGPT subscriber likely costs OpenAI $80-100.
It’s just a fad and the novelty is wearing off. How long did NFTs stay popular?
It won’t. The day it seems to have disappeared is when it’s finally been perfected to be indistinguishable from a human.
I like that you used the term significantly here, because usually the question is use will disappear, which it never will. Being said? open usage of image generation isn’t going to go away, and the same is likely to be said about casual ai chat bots. I do think that eventually when the bubble pops and investors realize that they are blindly tossing money into what is essentially a paper shredder most commercial usage of it will nosedive.
This effect is generally rather rapid, once one major company decides to drop it, usually it starts to snowball. Being said, with less commercial avenues of it, non-commercial projects that use cloud based services for it will likely have their prices increased to make up for the difference, so you may see /some/ non-commercial projects go down if the models aren’t being self hosted, but I don’t think it’s going anywhere
You mentioned it already seems to be decreasing as well? I might agree with that. It’s reached the point where the everyday consumer is saying “well this is cool, and makes it easier, but I don’t know how well I can trust this” and we also have some locations (such as the US) starting to put restrictions making it harder to copyright the outputs, which lowers a lot of its value in a commercial sector, but at the same time, we have big companies still going all in on it. So this concerns me.
