> "tech is not a noun, it's a verb" We don't know yet where and how AI, consumers, business and regulation will all come together and what the next thing will be after every AI milestone. Although the AI artistic doom is underway, there will definitely be winners, ie I can imagine Tom Cruise signing off on his AI "action figure" for the rest of his life (and of his heir) and studios who profit indefinitely from content they own in ways we can barely imagine now. And there will be losers. I can also picture more elaborate, undetectable AI derivatives that do not pay royalties to no one: writers, actors, even directors - AI will learn from their work and replicate indefinitely every aspect as a new product. AI in art will take Walter Benjamin's 1935 philosophy to the next level, both in meaning and depth: the mechanical reproduction of art alters the very nature of art - AI robs art from its aura of existence in time and space, art becomes soulless. The consumer will not rebel though, but adapt to this new AI reality. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Work_of_Art_in_the_Age_of_Mechanical_Reproduction https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Work_of_Art_in_the_Age_of_...
