I just watched “Fun with AI by Sheldon Cooper” on YouTube and I think that’s just a preview of what’s coming. I think it will be pretty much the same as social media where anything you say has already been said before dozens of times. But for video, so anything you want to watch has many different and similar spins. I think there will be more AI-generated movies similar to existing popular ones than there are fanfics written today. How do you think it will be like?
I honestly don’t think AI is anywhere near advanced enough to produce entertaining content in the long term. I see the current boom in generative AI as a fad based on novelty that will die down to a low level until there is some significant improvement to AI actually understanding what it is doing instead of just being a slightly more advanced markov chain like reproduction of existing content with no understanding at all. Sort of similar to what happened in VR in recent years.
