Not sure I get the social network or metaverse angle. But basically 0 cost content as it applies to entertainment and maybe other industries as well. It's well beyond metaverse if you consider metaverse or gaming to only be 1 aspect of entertainment. And let's not be mistaken, we're talking about all entertainment not just mass media. Looking forward to things like replacement of restaurants and tourism and even chatting with friends, and this is well ahead of what we need from AGI.

I know you’re being sarcastic, but as a kid I dreamed of an AI dungeon master that could play dnd types games and draw beautiful pictures of the scenery that the scenario would take place in.

  This YouTube video, to me, shows the promise of things to come. AI generated game worlds. Language models to generate plots and dialog, transformers and GANs to create illustrations. Imagine a game, a truly open world sand box, Grand Theft Auto meets AI Dungeon - every NPC is a "real" person with unlimited dialog options, the buildings you drive by you could easily walk in and investigate, unlimited play space - you could type in more general instructions and ideas to the plot generator ("add in a vampire romance and murder mystery angle") on the fly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=udPY5rQVoW0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=udPY5rQVoW0

    What you describe is actually all the more interesting aspects of the “holodeck” as introduced and explored (some would say too deeply) as a story concept on Star Trek: The Next Generation. There are more than a few scenes where the intrepid crew members struggle with what we’d now recognize as prompts. https://youtu.be/p7pPedBtbvk https://youtu.be/p7pPedBtbvk

Feels like hyped keyword padding. From what I understand this is the opposite of what the meta verse people want. They’re looking to build stable and persistent things so that people will buy “real estate” and so on.
