Companies have started outsourcing Artificial Intelligence work to real people with real intelligence. This is due to the huge costs involved with running AI servers - massive electricity bills and the only cheap cooling water being mainly sewage.
Out of work artists are reluctantly hand drawing awful, unsettling, blurred images with disfigured hands to sell to AI companies, to see if they match any of the weird user requests. There is a huge, bigly market for Trump images of him doing brave and nice things because there are no real images available.
Desperate musicians are creating just-off copies of work that are incredibly polished and follow all the right harmonies and specific key changes required to be a pleasant and forgettable massive hit. For which they get paid a tiny amount of money.
And backstreet authors and underground screenwriters are furiously writing generic Christmas movies and repetitive advertisements that are bland and comforting and do not have any of that tell-tale originality or uniqueness. This hugely difficult task is slowly becoming easier, as more and more of the same stuff is just repeated.
An AI Company CEO, a distinctly unlikeable group of letters, was surprised that there were so many talented work units available, and had no idea where all these easily exploitable content providers had come from.

Executives from the Ford Motor Company pronounced themselves surprised to have won the Turner Prize this morning.
Jasleen Kaur‘s installation “Sociomobile”, consisting of an early 1980s Ford Escort with a big doily on it, was announced as the winner during a ceremony at Tate Britain last night.
'I don’t think any of us knew we’d entered this competition,' said Ford’s Head of PR Mark Nylon. 'But it’s hard to dispute that more work went into designing and building the car than making a big doily, or putting the doily on top of the car. So I guess this is mostly down to us.'
Kaur described the work as “exploring themes of memory, identity and subjectivity”, to which Nylon added “Er… sure. What she said.”
Meanwhile Elon Musk has complained that Tesla’s Cybertruck was surely more of a work of art than a Ford Escort, and should have won the prize.
“A Ford Escort was fundamentally useful. It represented the pinnacle of car design in its time, and millions of people used them to get to work every day. The Cybertruck would look ridiculous in any era, and spends more time being recalled by Tesla than being driven by anyone. If you want to actually get anywhere, you’ve got more chance with a banana taped to the wall.
“Surely it must be a work of art, since it’s bloody useless as anything else?”
