Top 10 summer movies 1982-1989 - 25% are sequels. In the 2010's that ticked to over 50%[1]
This is way beyond AI. Culture just repeats itself, from movies to fashion to music. In case anyone was wondering - in the never ending loop between oversized baggy jeans and skinny jeans, we are right at the very end of the baggy era, looping back to skinny in a year or 2
So is this article complaining that instead of looping between baggy and skinny we should all be wearing silver spandex space suits? I guess thats true, but also Im good with just jeans personally

- gumballindie 3y ago> Culture just repeats itself, from movies to fashion to music. And including AI. If you watch movies, from around 90-95 you will notice the same talk about AI taking over the world, jobs, and all the schizofrenia surroinding it.
