Except in this analogy, we're in the mid-20th century and you're lamenting that a new horseshoe-making AI is going to put mom & pop blacksmiths out of business.

Mediocre art, writing, and music on their own were already completely worthless. Go look on Soundcloud and watch as hundreds of new songs get posted every minute, most of which get 2 or 3 plays; no AI necessary. Even before ChatGPT, if you looked at the latest Medium blogs it would be a steady flow of articles with a handful of views.
Flooding the internet with AI-generated garbage content is going to be virtually indistinguishable from what we have now.

I'm not "lamenting" anything, and can't imagine where you're getting that from. > Mediocre art, writing, and music on their own were already completely worthless. Nope. Plenty of people get paid for creating mediocre art, writing, and music. The guy who writes commercial jingles for Bob's Used Cars is not Johann Sebastian Bach. But he still gets paid.
