AI-generated stories are stories written by humans, but watered-down and plagiarized. AI would not be able to write stories without stealing training from human-made stories.
Yeah, I've been playing around with some of the AI coding assistants as accelerators for data science projects. The one thing I've learned above all else is that this tech can speed up the process of coding, but it absolutely cannot replace computer scientists and engineers.
If you don't actually understand coding, AI will give you stuff that runs, but fucks up key details and/or doesn't actually do the thing you're asking correctly. It's hella dangerous.
Quality is reason. No stream is as good as a UHD copy of a movie when it comes to audio and video.
There's an argument to be made for DRM-free digital downloads over UHD discs, though those aren't easy to obtain legally (in case legality actually matters to the user).
Just a little bit of massive corruption to set the tone for the next 3.75 years.
