If it was literally impossible to make any profit off AI, how do you think things would look like now?

Plenty of slop is making a profit passing off as news sites. There's also the video slop flooding the big social media sites, earning ad revenue

    The more of them that are, the less they're worth. It's only a matter of time before it costs more to make a slop video than what it can make in ad revenue.

    I don't know the pricing, but the cost is going up while the revenue is going down. The easy slop earning model is going to peak within a year if it hasn't already.
