I'm the last person who would have predicted what I'm about to suggest a year ago, but I think there's a reasonably high chance that generative AI may soon be fulfilling a lot of our web content style type of needs.
I've been spending most of my evenings getting more and more familiar with Stable Diffusion, and I have to say, once you start getting better at prompt engineering and customizing the pieces of the model you can create (or should I say "generate"?) some really amazing stuff.
For years (decades?) I've been looking for a content experience that brings me back to the early days of the web, when everything had potential and you didn't quite no what you'd find. Lots of junk, but just frequently enough something wonderful.
I feel the same way messing around with generative content. Lots of "neat, but meh", however sometimes you'll create something that just really captures what you were looking for. Many thinks are predictable, but just enough is surprising and novel. Additionally the space seems to be rapidly expanding with fresh ideas and content in a way similar to the early web.
It's also currently a bit tricky to get everything to work right, and requires some expensive equipment. But I've been more entertained by generative content in the last few months than I have by web content.
