Yeah this was my thought ever since I heard that they saw LLM "search" as the future. "Search" inasmuch as it still exists on Google is already pay-to-play, this is just changing who gets paid.
Reminds me of Elon's comment about programmers value being based on the number of lines of code they'd written.
I agree with this. It also makes me wonder if it would even be possible for a nonprofit or government to train an image generator (for example) to produce more detailed work. The output of a corporation can only be "good enough".

Yeah and the dev didn't say he's switching over to a 100% vibe coded model, just that he's ok with it as long as the bugs are manageable.
Someone once said to me "If a creative project is of high quality, the longer you look at it the more details you'll notice. If it's bad, the longer you look at it, the more detail you notice is missing."

I think CWA is the one to watch. It's progress has been slower but steady.
This is cool, so I could theoretically just set up a Plex/Jellyfin library and not need a youtube account?
