Right now there's a huge backslash against generative AI in the web, video games, etc.

AI is bad for all industries. It just regurgitates jumbled up words and phrases. At best it's a liability which produces sub-human level of work with no regard for morality or consequences, and at worst it will send your company into bankruptcy and ruin your reputation for as long as you live.

There are three valid use cases for AI with few drawbacks:

  1. Misinforming a large number of people on social media

  2. Flooding online places with slop in order to prevent people from seeing real information, such as covering up political or financial scandals

  3. Making funny AI Cover Songs by Quagmire, Peridot, and/or Squidward

For everything else, you will lose more than you gain.
