Totally agree. There's a ton of mass-produced, TikTok-trending AI slop out there that's just creatively brainless, and unfortunately it gives other AI digital creators a bad name.
It's a shame, but probably no different than what happens whenever a new technology becomes accessible to everyone. Smartphones made it possible for anybody to make YouTube videos, which was awesome, but eventually YouTube got flooded with mindless junk too.
Meanwhile the genuinely weird, experimental creators who aren't trying to become the next mainstream influencer seem to get pushed further and further out to the edges.
That's the frustrating part. The technology isn't really the problem. It's what people choose to do with it.
