Great piece, it seems to have produced a couple of non-ai-augmented thoughts... 1. When ambitious young cooks / farmers etc set out to make a name for themselves in the food industry, I don't get the impression they're rushing towards kosher food development en masse. But I could be wrong. 2. Over the course of my life I've observed (and lived) the response to the dissolution with mass market factory farm food to be a movement towards local, organic, small batch and visibly produced / performed food production. 3. I want to believe a distaste or boredom with ai produced content will lead us all offline and make us more focused on art, music, writing, advice etc produced by people we actually know in real life. Like a farmers market but for everything. 4. If I had to guess though I'd say its more likely in the short term to just increase the popularity of live streaming everything. I should really have had chatGPT proof read this for me and optimize it for upvotes. CERTIFIED ORGANIC AI-FREE POST

Yes! I felt reading the article that AI/ML vs "organic" content will become the difference between fine hand-crafted furniture and flat-pack Ikea stuff. Sure, the flat-pack is better than nothing for a temporary apartment, but it is something to move beyond, not what we want to be stuck with for the rest of our lives and in all situations.

  Quality furniture, especially hand-crafted, is expensive and far from being universally affordable. It's quite likely that the same thing will apply here wrt "artisan hand-crafted content", and thus AI-generated stuff will still constitute the vast majority of what the society consumes. That said, if it gets good enough that you have to be an expert to tell AI-generated stuff from human-made, does it really matter? The upper classes will always play the silly "look what I can afford!" status games, and these often don't have an utilitarian component to them - something doesn't need to be actually better, it just needs to be recognized as more refined. Well, and cost more.
