Also the textile industry is drowning in fabrics made with machines. Hands made clothes still exist, but they cost a fortune, just like all clothes used to. Back in those days, many people had only a single shirt to wear, and they couldn’t afford another one.
Nowadays, everything is drowning in things made with machines. AI just pushes that boundary to include text, audio and video.
What a shit take, lol. Clothes had still been designed by humans for your weird comparison. Machines just made them easier to replicate. We already have the same for music, video and the like. It’s called files you can easily distribute through the internet instead of having to go to see a concert to experience music. We’ve already been drowning in more handmade videos and music than a person can consume, very often for free or for very little money.
Making physical things by hand isn’t just a price issue. It’s also a quality issue. Just look at a hand made beanie and tell me where the seams are. Oh, there aren’t any, because the production method is radically different from machine made beanies.
With machine made beanies, they tend to have multiple seams. If the fabric comes in square format, you’ll end up with a seam in the back. If it comes in pipe format, you don’t need a back seam, but you still end up with several seams at the top of the beanie. We’ve been using inferior clothes for so many generations that most people don’t even know how good hand made clothes are. That’s also why people refuse to pay for quality like that.
I really can’t imagine a world where I would care how many seams my beanie has. If anything, seams make them easier to fold. Also, modern 3D knitting machines can make beanies without seams, as well as more complicated seamless garments that a human would really struggle to make.
We were already producing text, audio, and video at sufficient rates. So-called AI only makes it easier to produce deceptively realistic media. Video that looks and sounds like real life, but isn’t. Or as in the article, citations for academic papers that look real, but aren’t.
If fabrics made by machines were of consistently lower quality, if every machine-made shirt busted at the seams, we wouldn’t use machines to make fabric. (Fabric isn’t even a great example. There’s lots of human labor in garment factories.)

But we already have a sufficient amount of media production and low prices without slop and also media is recreational while clothes are a necessity

Your textile machine doesn’t hallucinate a tshirt.
