The author talks about the quality and professionalism of his work which is true. I'm not sure how much a model can replace that. However, with this is cheaper to produce a huge amount of substandard stuff. That will swamp out the quality stuff and will probably have economic effects too. One analogous example that comes to mind is cheap animation software. In a world where there were a few hand animated cartoons, now there are tons of quickly put together shows.
