"If generative AI could REALLY make the next GTA in 6 months with 10 staff, or write the next bestseller, or produce 10 blockbusters a day? They wouldn't be trying to sell it to YOU. They would keep it for themselves and guard it from you ferociously."

I've seen this quote without attribution a couple of times. Whoever said it, they're spot on.

@JulietEMcKenna that's not really true. They would give you paid access to a downgraded version of the software that would allow you to create something like GTA 3 with months of work but never fully get the perfect result. This way, they could string you along indefinitely and make you pay while you attempt to create something, while simultaneously selling you the next GTA that they created with the software you'll never have access to
