It will depend on how much investment they put into the development and research they do with AI. Because this is a race and for now nobody wants to step on the brakes until there is another winter for AI.

I think it will be missing whatever you want to call the human spirit for a long time. It's missing in writing and it's missing in pictures. The technical ability is advancing at an impressive pace, but at the end of the day I find things generated by AI to just feel empty and dull.

I still use them and enjoy them and want to see how far they can go, but I think there is an upper bound that is below human journeyman level until we create a vastly different sort of AI that might surpass sentience and perhaps even be considered sapient. And we're currently far short of sentient.
