Markets for many kinds of art have already been driven to near zero, but I wonder if AI will drive them negative: if you want a human audience to give you their much-contended attention, you'll have to start paying them.

Vanity publishing is already a thing, it might become bigger. But I don't think the price as such will become negative, because paying people to listen to you sort of defeats the point. You want to believe that the things you have to say are worthwhile, after all.

Vanity Publishing is basically the entire economic force behind Social Media, and even traditional media.

Inventor: I made a thing! I want people to know about it so they will want it, and pay me for my cool thing.

Public: We can't notice you over the million other things to pay attention to.

Inventor: Hey Mr. Zuckerberg, here's $100. MAKE THEM NOTICE ME.
