Work produced with AI, without skill or effort, may seem good before there is a lot of it, but that impression will always wear off quickly. People who work with AI, but with skill and effort, will produce work that won't immediately read as slop.

Solopreneurial dreams of creating compelling digital products without skill or effort, just vibes, will fail because they will be overtaken by digital products made with skill and effort, with or without AI, though likely to some degree with AI.
