Wonder if all these things will bring about a kind of cambrian explosion of creativity. Imagine a future of Prompt Wizards, who are able to coax the AI to generate things in a very specific way. Although we would probably need a much greater level of human curation. The way algorithms curate on youtube and spotify just doesn't really hit the spot. Perhaps stability and Dall-e already kind of showed that the value is not so much in the physical act of creating, but more-so in the ability to express something that the AI can represent and which can connect with you.

I think we will definitely see a content explosion. The pessimist in me says that general levels of creativity and quality will go down, if anything. It's AI written blogspam, but for images and video too. The signal to noise ratio is getting worse and worse

  Alas, I've found the same thing. The text is more basic and repetitive. The ideas are fewer and farther in between.

  Less Cambrian Explosion, more Permian-Triassic Extinction.

We already have evidence that the explosion in availability decreases the overall quality, even if the quantity of high-quality productions also increases greatly. Every creative platform is going to be flooded with the equivalent of a Reddit comment. (yes I am aware of the irony)

  that's funny. looking forward to PromptJS, ppm and PromptScript.

> Wonder if all these things will bring about a kind of cambrian explosion of creativity. Maybe, if memes are the peak of creativity. (And who am I to judge?) If we look at static images, the bar for distribution is zero and bar for creation is near zero since the arrival of these new AI tools – though it was circling zero before that. And what seems to be most widely shared is memes, in my feeds anyway. When Stable Diffusion landed, people giggled about the president of my country rendered in the style of Grand Theft Auto. After a week of that my feeds went right back to memes. Every human with an internet connection can draw like Picasso now, but it doesn't seem to matter. Because what we mostly seem to want is to take part in a conversation and get some validation, it seems to me.

Think about 25 or 30 or 50 years down the line. More interesting than the next couple of years. Speculate a bit. After Neuralink and a few other companies torture enough poor monkeys, they eventually figure out how to create high bandwidth brain computer interfaces. We go through a few more paradigm shifts in computing and get 10000-1000000 X or more performance increase. Metaverse protocols have advanced to allow for seamless integration of simulated persons and environments across multiple clusters. The software continues to improve. What you could get is a simulated realm with simulated AI characters living their own lives. But groups of real people are plugged directly in to the simulation and can influence it with their thoughts. There may be some sort of rules to ensure a certain level of stability. But basically you just think "there should be a storm today" and maybe visualize some strong winds. And then it happens in their world. So at that point we become Gods. I am probably getting carried away because I am tired.

  Every god eventually tires of indulgence, so contrives a dream set before all desires were fulfilled. I expect it would look something like this.
