Going on a tangent, one thing that surprises me is how much software has failed to take the place of humans as teachers.
I feel like the creator economy is going to be a rather short-lived event.
I don't imagine AI overlords will be appearing in the next century, but I do imagine primitive brains capable of simple tasks will appear and with it, replace whole swaths of the economy, including teaching positions.
- Haydos585x2 5y agoI'm sure we have different definitions but I think software is taking the place of traditional teachers. You no longer need to have a teacher learn content then run a short course at an adult education centre, some big name teacher can record their content once and distribute it across the internet forever. It's not the same as AI producing content but people like people so I'm not surprised by that.
- walterbell 5y ago> people like people Yes, and it's so profitable that someone will inevitably try to use AI-animated "people" to harvest market demand for organic people. Similar to cloning popular software or movies with lower-rent talent. Andrew Niccol, creator of Truman Show, Lord of War, Gattaca and Lord of War, made a film called Simone about a computer-generated fashion/celebrity avatar. Some of the dynamics in that film have already been seen on social media and will likely expand in future metaverses.

- walterbell 5y agoFacebook has the data to explain.
- walterbell 5y ago> imagine AI overlords will be appearing in the next century If early AI overlords were used to manipulate human perception, would most humans even know it happened? This began in the early 2010s (e.g. Cambridge Analytica), if not earlier.
