Maybe I’m overdramatizing but as I see it, AI will accelerate the end of ALL shallow content.

And maybe thas is a good thing. Maybe as a civilization, we need to come out of slumber, of drugging ourselves out day and night with endless tv series, super hero movies and so called "games" (about 90% of which are garbage and/or cookie clickers at their core).

So it’s fascinating : our best shot at capitalism created all this technological innovation, but also so much parasitic, essentially pointless "work" where people toil away creating "content" and "entertainment" such as games, movies etc the majority of which is consumed in our "time off" to unwind and forget about "working" (I’m thinking in particular of the movie Kooyanisqatsi which illustrates this madness).

We couldn’t imagine a different way of life - but the funny thing is, AI will help us come out of this slumber by making the majority of so called "entertainment" - which is garbage let’s face it (80/20 rule and all that) - pretty much obsolete as well as valueless.

So this seems paradoxical but I believe the best thing about AI is it will free us and drive us towards real value and authenticity in our day to day relationships and expression.

Gonna be a long road though…

It might become "valueless"--in that anyone can make it for free--but would it ever become "obsolete"? How often has making something everyone wants cheaper--or free!--caused people to consume less of it?
