We've got a pretty sick society. We've spent so much money developing this technology to clone voices when we've got 8 billion voices on the planet today. We've developed 4K and even 8K video when we've already got beautiful scenes outside -- oh wait, we ruined those already with technology and roads and cars. We've got the smell of beautiful flowers and yet we have an entire chemical industry trying to replicate more artificial smells. We're sick and AI is the apex of that pathology. Can you imagine how nice life would be if we just devoted all this energy into providing for basic needs and focusing on social problems instead of technological ones? We're making the world worse with this shit.

Your way of thinking is "sick", some kind glass-is-empty malaise, and you need to find a cure [1]. If you think art is perfect the way it is, you're not dreaming. I want a thousand science fiction epics. The world only has Star Wars crap and bad Dune adaptations. I want to take what's in my mind and put it to audio-visual, and play it for myself and friends. I don't want the tech and art of today. I was born too early. I want what's next. I have so many dreams, and for just once, I'd like them to start coming true. This tech is a first glimpse over that hill. [1] (Sorry, I'm not attacking you. I just wanted to use your language to grab attention. I believe this is too negative an outlook for something that will have incredible use cases.)

  There’s so much more SF out there, even in the space opera subgenre, than Star Wars and Dune. If you don’t know how to navigate that, there’s no way you’ll produce anything of worth. Start reading.

    The original dune movie was excellent and I will die on that hill. It accurately portrays the absurdity of the books. You’d give the same complaints to anyone who bothered to try to film Charlie and the great glass elevator.

  If you think star wars and dune are crap, what makes you think anyone will want to watch your home made AI science fiction? I have so many dreams, and for just once, I'd like them to start coming true. Everyone wants a genie they can wish on, but they don't exist.

    > Everyone wants a genie they can wish on, but they don't exist. The means to unpack your mind are about to come into play in full force, CyberDildonics. You and I keep debating this [1], but everything I'm saying is coming to pass. So we can keep score: - The tools to make movies in AI will surpass classical tooling and the majority of linear video content that people willingly consume will be powered by AI rather than "photons-on-glass". Most creators will be served by the new Gen AI tools, and though we may still have Wes Anderson shooting in the classical style on set, most action, adventure, drama, etc. films and shows will be produced with Gen AI pipelines. - Most porn in the future will be AI. Porn movies, porn images, etc. Pornhub better start incorporating AI, or they'll get mowed over. Real pornographic actors and actresses will be rare relative to the "choose whatever you want" future of Gen AI. I enjoy how differently we see the world, and I'm always up for adding more predictions into this mix. Perhaps these: - In the future, most music will be made with AI tools. There will be famous musicians that only use AI tooling.

      You didn't answer my question, you just made predictions of the future without any rationale or evidence behind them.
