I bet there are also bodies of work by posters on internet forums, social media etc. that would constitute great works if properly compiled, edited, and promoted.
Sometimes these posters are locally famous in their online communities, but in other cases they are overlooked even on their home turf. Perhaps in hundreds of years some of this stuff will be dug up and celebrated, either by humans or AI.
The same thing definitely happens with software too. There are some masterpieces of engineering out there with 15 stars on Github.
- insightcheck 4y agoI would say that 3Blue1Brown's educational videos on mathematics will likely be seen as "great works" in the future. The visualizations and explanations are genuinely highly valuable for people studying mathematics (e.g. his "Essence of Linear Algebra" series [0]). The barrier to creating similar work is also high, due to the amount of time and expertise to create each video. They also have an artistic quality and a sense of polish that gives the impression that the videos will stand the test of time.
