They have said it would have been cheaper, and less work to simply shoot it themselves traditionally.

That's true for now. Look at the progress OpenAI made within a single year.

Now, 343 is absolutely jumping the gun here. There's no question about that. But my point, economically speaking, is that AI doesn't need to be "as good" as human output in order to cause major disruption; it only needs to be "good enough". Once it gets to a point that consumers are willing to spend money on AI output preferentially over human-generated output, it's over. The cost savings will be too difficult to fight.

Capitalism can be insidious. Money drives decision-making not only on the business side of things, but on the consumer side as well.
