When I first ran NCSA Mosaic, I dismissed it. It was another 5 years until it started to sink in — this was before google. Other than the hype, what are the latest developments of AI? * generate digital images from natural language descriptions. ie. DALL-E * suggest code and entire functions. ie. Copilot * generate textual content: Generative Pre-trained Transformer. ie. ChatGPT The future may be in other important endeavors: * train on ... data and learn how to ... to automate ... I think that the creativity is in your idea and not in what is being automatically generated.

If code can be reliably generated and digital businesses deployed automatically, you can Monte-Carlo sample enterpreneurship. Automated ventures. Edit: That may the lesson of Stable Diffusion: ideas are very cheap, if you have a heuristic for what a good idea is. Generate a business, fix it by optimizing for measurable metrics, if it doesn't work, try again. Legal constraints can be interpreted by an LLM, fines are penalties for training. I think in terms of human ingenuity, the digital space is finished in the long run. It will all be on the level of infrastructure funneling data to corporations. The space to innovate with the low-hanging fruit still lies in engineering physical things, where implementation and testing is still a barrier to iterating quickly.
