<p>>I'm arguing it's not "success".  I don't believe that a meme stock is a truly long-term business.<p>Duh. 
Crypto is the peak meme investment. Literally worthless, yet the market size is in trillions now, with even pension funds buying into it.<p>It doesn't follow any fundamentals, but as the meme markets defacto exist, there needs to be some models of valuing these investments other than fundamentals.</p>

<p>Depends on what they're trying to incentivise.<p>It's quite possible they aren't trying to measure performance but are literally just trying to increase token consumption to feed the bubble and hype.<p>Plus pressure employees may find new unique use cases for AI.<p>It's like if your goal is inflation, you give out tons of money and as long as its spent, you achieve your goal.</p>

<p>I think you are agreeing with me since my point was that AI is a force multiplier and will enable manual artists to create (and iterate) faster and on much bigger projects.<p>Prices will go down, not because people can directly generate art, but because you could hire an artist to complete the same scope of work for 1/10th the cost.</p>

<p>AI is a productivity tool. 
Instead of working on a single graphic, the artist can now work on the entire marketing campaign. 
Instead of spending a year working on background special effects for a single scene, one could now personally produce full featured films.<p>It will be a golden age where the core differentiating factor is true talent and ideas and execution and not any gatekeeping by degrees, connections or budget.</p>
