This just reads like poorly written fanfiction. While using generative AI to make your own self-insert fanfic is definitely a use case, I'm not really sure how

  > I'd be surprised if humans are going to be competitive with generative AI for much longer. You're right, it does read like poorly written fan fiction. Like I said, humans are currently competitive with generative AI. I suspect they won't be for much longer. > I'm not really sure how this translates to the death of the entertainment industry. Implicit in my comment is the assumption that AI will continue to improve from here. There is a clear curve forming in what generative AI is capable of. For me to be correct, the curve holds for long enough that AI becomes a compelling story teller given user guidance/input along with corresponding stable generation of assets. Given the poor fan fiction above is substantially better than where we were 5 years ago with generative AI, I think it's a pretty safe bet to say if we keep following that curve it'll become a pretty good dungeon master that can lead a quest in a meaningful number of worlds.

  Fan fiction just denotes the unofficial nature of the stuff. For example Star Wars is a tent-pole franchise for the world’s largest media company, but quality-wise recent entries range from poor fan fiction (most of it) to good fan fiction (Filoni). I don’t know if officially sanctioned self-insert stories would kill the entertainment industry, but they’ll certainly change how things work. Video games are already giving movies a pretty good run for their money, and that’s with an arbitrary skill threshold to keep people out…
