A researcher argues that as AI automates ever more complex creative work, the AI backlash is amplifying. Quoting a French post decrying the trend of reducing art professions that take years to master into one-click hobbies, he adds:
- If the AI bubble pops, it may not be technical failure but people rejecting tools that create more and more slop.
- It recalls VR: VR was niche, yet companies treated it as universal — "Who is this for?"
