Generative AI has a number of uses that are already widespread, and I don't see going anywhere. Things like clipart and stock art, and initial contact customer support. AI automates these jobs, making it far, far cheaper than hiring a human to do the same job. It only takes one higher-end PC to do a job that a human would have had to be paid for. The economic incentive is already there.

Furthermore, Generative AI is a genie thats been let out of the bottle, and I don't see ever being put back in. These models are just files, which have already been replicated and become widespread. Sure, progress may slow as the "We're making a general purpose AI." bubble bursts, but if these tools work, they'll continue to be developed, and people will continue to get better at manipulating or augmenting them. I don't see any reason that would stop generative AI from continuing to exist from this point forward.

Oh and to be clear, it's not spicy autocorrect that is the disease, it's just a symptom. It's the combination of late stage capitalism and the incipient death of the USA as a haegemonic force. I'm almost certain China will throw a bunch of safeguards and restrictions on "AI" once they are assured of their economic, cultural and political dominance.
