That's not the kind of experience companies look for though. Do you have a degree? How much time have you spent working for other companies? That's all that matters to them.

The production of works that use AI will drop, while the cost to produce higher quality works - works that don't use AI - will remain the same. All we'll get is more AI slop.

If AI can learn "better and faster" than humans, then why didn't AI companies just pay for a couple of books to train their AIs on, just like people do?

Maybe because AI is ultimately nothing but a complicated compression algorithm, and people should really, really stop anthropomorphizing it.
