Yes and no. What you've posited is a valid viewpoint and we'll expressed. But that's on one end of the spectrum. On the other end is the potential for AI slop to allow those who have something more to stand out better, in the sense we've always been lulled into believing the meritocracy exists, all the while forgetting society is a bit more complex, and it's complicated in reality (for instance, in the literary field, writers contracted with publishing houses are pushed and perhaps many a wannabe writer of talent walked away for lack of finding or fulfilling an opportunity. We'd like to believe happy endings always happen, but reality is... Complicated!).
But you're right. Great analogy with Che Guevara iconography. And yes, most content producers are mediocre, so AI slop is a rude awakening 🤣🤣🤣
