FYI this is in Japanese, they are talking about China though. It's also over a year old, so probably not the most accurate info on what's happening with ai in China now.

Yes, this is only happening in China

It's only happening in countries when human labor is that cheap.

They also have wildly less expensive AI models, so that argument doesn't necessarily hold up.

AI art doesn’t save any time, it’s just a different way of making mostly mediocre stuff; AI coding doesn’t save any time, it’s just aw different way of pulling boilerplate code and what would have been time spent searching.

I used AI to make me a little app to make my work a little easier but I have no idea why or how the code works. If I were a professional coder, I'd be too scared to pass it on to my clients without fully understanding what the thing spewed out, so I'd probably have to read the entire code to double check everything is kosher. At that point, I'd probably have just written the code myself.

Yeah that’s kinda what I mean, I happened to learn coding (the old fashioned way) riiight before all the AI started happening. It was definitely helpful for me as a new learner but at this point I almost never use it (because I’m making things I want to make and not boilerplate). I see systems that make entire React sites, which is great, and also kind of mundane (since it’s making the millionth-plus react sites on the internet), but if you put a semicolon in the wrong place in a React app the whole thing breaks. What is someone who doesn’t know code, have any desire to learn code and doesn’t have any interest in debugging code supposed to do with a broken pile of react?

Congratulations, you've played yourself

Weirdly I've not seen a glut of AI "art" in China, so this cycle must have gone really quickly.

The uber of art.
