I have been saying this for a long time--generative art is just fine grained consumption. Instead of searching through YouTube/TikTok for content that may interest you, you can now just ask your LLM to generate what you want to see that moment. It's the next evolution of keeping the masses addicted to their devices, and we as software engineers are gleefully supporting this ... because?

Because it pays our bills?

Packing meth into tiny baggies pays someone's bills, too.

And that’s why some people do it.
