I believe it when I see something more than a carefully curated hype video.
ReplyDeleteI love how he just casually throws in "the road to AGI" there, as if what they are doing has anything at all to do with AGI. I can introduce my plans for the weekend by saying, "On the road to world domination," but that doesn't mean anything.
But with you, it always does. It... always... does.
DeleteMore seriously: I agree the AGI thing was just thrown in there rather sloppily, but the points being made about the potential for user-created content are, I think, valid. George Lucas said as much decades ago, but I don't think even he recognized the true power of the genie in that lamp.
DeleteBut while the entertainment space democratizes, it's also going to hierarchize because different creators will have different levels of talent and originality. Reality has one very interesting feature: instead of remaining perfectly even and homogeneous, it has a tendency to clump and cluster, solidifying into distinct shapes. "The Tao gives birth to One. One gives birth to Two. Two gives birth to Three. Three gives birth to the ten thousand things." (TTC 42 on the birth of distinctness) This is as true of entertainment as it is of everything else, and what'll eventually happen in a user/AI-created entertainment ecosystem is that certain creatives will come out on top, then people/AIs will cluster around them, and we'll have hierarchy again. Every attempt to smooth things out into something blandly egalitarian always results in unevenness, inequality, and hierarchy. There is no escaping this. So while AI will help solve one problem, it's going to create and perpetuate others.
