charlesirl quotes realJessyLin: generative AI made it 10x easier to produce stuff, but only 10% easier to produce good stuff. He adds a tongue-in-cheek auto-reply about how middling generative AI has "fundamentally altered the strategic balance between offense & defense in the war for our attention," joking that he'll meet people "out beyond kino & slop, there is a field" — a wry take on the flood of AI-generated mediocrity.
