This is the same kind of thing people always say, that a machine can’t replace a doctor’s bedside manner or a pilot’s intuition. Here is a clip from the first Iron Man, watch the first 15 seconds, word for word same kind of sentiment: https://youtu.be/ZygApeuBZdk?si=6rRDvAncOoiO4cEo https://youtu.be/ZygApeuBZdk?si=6rRDvAncOoiO4cEo And then technology proceeds to trounce humans and it turns out that people dont want London Cabbies to have “The Knowledge”, they’re totally happy with an Uber driver to mindlessly follow the GPS routing system which knows far more about traffic. And then a self driving car which never has any social issues and can regale you with anything you want during the drive, stay silent or play you any movie. Did you ask your parents for most subjects or ask google? People overestimate how much their special idiosynchrasies are needed by other people. They just want to get in, get out, and get what they want. This was a year ago: https://nypost.com/2024/03/26/lifestyle/im-a-model-whos-so-hot-that-people-accuse-me-of-being-ai-its-complete-insanity/ https://nypost.com/2024/03/26/lifestyle/im-a-model-whos-so-h... https://medium.com/@blinx/combating-the-proliferation-of-social-media-fake-accounts-with-ai-technology-7f8bb9ece43a https://medium.com/@blinx/combating-the-proliferation-of-soc... https://futurism.com/ai-generated-influencers https://futurism.com/ai-generated-influencers And if you add partially AI-produced content, such as automatic clips translations b-roll and edits etc. it becomes even more content that’s AI produced. People expect that increasing level of production value, and soon they will treat human influencers the same way they treat, say, a picasso painting vs DALL-E. The Picasso painting is just there, it can’t crank out what you want every minute. So it is a curiosity. But not where you get most of your news or whatever. All the qualities you mentioned can be replaced by a superstimulus and most people will come to prefer it the same way birds prefer rounder fake eggs to their own eggs, and even kick their own eggs out. As for where they will get the content? Where does news on twitter and telegram appear from? Crowdsourced news from everyone having a cellphone and then everyone discussing what they just uploaded. Citizen journalism. Just summarize a freaking forum and you have a podcast in all languages recorded in whatever voice and hottest anchors you want. And they can then also tell you anything you want to know in the “would you like to know more?” fashion of Starship Stormtroopers, if it had been a thing LOL. And sell you far better because they can give you individual attention and remember preferences of millions of people and your friends. And solve the two-sigma problem for educating students. Results will matter for parents. This next generation will grow up with AI friends and tutors, and will not want human tutors — for most subjects ! Let’s hope this next generation will still want human friends.
