    Not just jobs, but:

    • Scammers that make convincing fakes
    • Knock-offs that get your views before you realize that it’s hollow slop instead of what you were expecting for
    • Flooding the field of creative content with hollow stuff devoid of actual creative intent, mistaking verbosity and detail for quality creative content.
    • Exploiting small communities that either let big tech walk over them in general, or they just have to bribe a few city managers at pretty modest prices.

    I suppose the scammers are about the only arguably common downside between the AI boom and the dot-com boom, but it was at the time less compelling because it was such an ‘alien’ medium that people weren’t trusted, whereas AI is corrupting a familiar medium with even more scam than people are used to.
