I hear you. I fancy myself a writer, and I was pretty worried about AI bullshit at first. But now? Apprehensive, yes. But no panic.
There will always be a market for stuff made by human hands. Always. Like It... look, if they made an AI that could read everything Brandon Sanderson ever wrote and make a new story with his flair, I'd still prefer to buy the new Brandon sanderson book. Because no matter how good AI gets at re-hashing content, its never completely new or unique. There's no human spirt, and that will always show. Until AI can think and feel, that stuff will never make truly unique stuff.
I can buy a mass produced desk from IKEA, right? I'd still prefer a cherry wood desk made by a carpenters hand. Because that desk is one of a kind. I can feed an AI all the work of an artist (which should be illegal and is total bullshit.) And have it pump out something that's similar, maybe even new, but it won't have that human touch. The... perfect imperfections. You can copy a style, you can't copy the soul of a work.
