CMV: People attempting to sell AI generated products from completely and directly from AI won't be able to make a living for themselves

I say this because why would anyone pay for a generated book or image for more than it costs to generate it themselves and on top of that people have more control variability simply generating an image for themselves. People are trying to sell AI generated works for more than it costs to generate them whole especially as time progresses but the vast public has the same amount of access to the tools to generate them. The only way AI works in selling something is probably selling it with a created work that comes directly from a human because while that product may be emulated by AI to create it, it isn't the direct source of creation so there isn't a barometer. Its as if selling an AI generated work, is akin to selling your ability to Google something for someone else.

Ai will afford the ability for people to generate their own content. Why would someone pay for someone else's generated AI works willfully when they have the exact way to generate it themselves for a cheaper rate? Even from companies that try to use AI to out automate and compete with humans will find themselves begin to have to compete with the everyday man that will have those same abilities to suddenly make an app, games and other content with the use of AI to create their own companies to compete with them because AI will begin to cost less than a cent over time. The only companies who win in the money game are the ones who generate that AI directly and the manufacturing that supplants them.
