Having a worker of any kind cuts into the profits they can hope to extract before literally everyone else who can push the same “make bad image” button pushes that button.
That’s what I mean by that line. It’s primary contradiction of capitalism 2.0. They’re chasing that perfect moment where they get maximum profits with minimal inputs, ideally cutting the workers out entirely. But the moment that happens, everyone can do it so the competitive advantage goes away completely. The workers can’t buy it and the product is so ratfucked that they don’t even want it so demand flattens and they have a crisis of overproduction. Their starting point is that crisis and their product began as ersatz kitsch that I can generate endless customised versions of for free. The only AI “innovations” we see are desperate attempts to add another contraption to the mechanical turk. this one can sound like that movie from 2013 and tlel you what burrito is just like googling “what is tortilla snake food” in 2003.
