One of the things that the author appears to assert is that bot generated imagers/shorts will start to dominate social media. I don't think that will be the case long term (I also dont see it working in VR at all) The issue is that because its easy to generate, it will be come associated with being cheap. And nobody like being bombarded with cheap culture (ie things that are optional, and not actually purchased) An example, for the majority of people, "NFTs" now feel cheap. The bored apes are just variations. some NFTs are pretty patterns. Nice but not worth the money. Yes, some tech people are getting very excited for GPT3->dall-e-> some sort of game engine. The problem they will bump into is that the output might look pretty, it'll have no meaningful coherent narrative (not even over 7-9 seconds). It will be associated with cheap platforms/content producers. (ie the modern equivalent of "this one weird olf trick/these pictures will SHOCK YOU./number 7 will TAKE YOUR BREATH AWAY") In some senses automated content has a very real risk of killing VR as a platform. Nobody is going to come back to a platform awash with nonsensical bot generated crap.
