I think AI slop killed my business.

We do production for creators and this year we only signed 2 big industry players. We didnt sign any small and medium sized clients. It appears the entire middle market got destroyed by AI slop and low efort podcasts and generally there is a fear of income loss for any production.

Creators spend a ton on production and editing etc and they are losing views and engagement to AI shorts about women washing dishes in the olympics. 4 millions likes that short got. There are clients with 10m+ subs getting less than 100k views now. So, its clear, AI will kill jobs in code generation and content creation.

What exactly is going to pay everyone's bills??? Id love to know how everyone else is handling this.

edit: a lot of comments are underestimating the magnitude of this. These are not just random people that will be directly or indirectly affected. It will be fathers and mothers. Brothers and sisters. Sons and daughters. And to those that think they are immune to AI, like mechanics, when people lose their jobs/incomes, they typically dont keep 2-3 cars.

edit: apparently China waited for the markets to close before telling DJT we aren't getting those gpus. In this game of high-stakes poker, DJT like to play his cards face-up.
