> The keyboard gave everyone a "bicycle of the mind", now everyone can visually express themselves if they try. Right, everyone can. So now your film-making vision is simply one infinitesimally small slice of the pie that every viewer is eating. Yes, you can make a movie by yourself. Likely no one will watch it because they're too busy watching other movies made just as cheaply but by companies with marketing budgets. > I am getting so much more work done that I'm launching easily three times what I did prior to AI tooling. Great. Have you ever once in your life had a real conversation with a normal person where they expressed, "Man, you know what? I wish I had way more apps on my phone." Like, yes, there is demand for software that fills unique niches, but really we are reaching saturation. > When we have at-home Michelin star robot chefs Eating the world's best meal, alone, while staring at your phone. > where our cars can drive us to the beach overnight so we wake up to sunrise on the coast This part sounds nice. Hopefully you can find parking. > where I can have an idea for a new take on a music player tagging algorithm and just build that without it consuming weeks of my time. Except you don't have a music player to put that algorithm in because all of the music players are closed source. You can write an open source one (or contribute to an existing one), but those all require local libraries of music, which almost no one has. Because it's not about the software, it's about the access to content. But, really, why even bother tagging music in the first place? Just treat the tags as prompts and generate an infinite stream of music catered exactly to your mood, on demand. I get where you're coming from. AI is a massive force multiplier for producing content. But content isn't the point of life. The future that AI builds is one of perfect solitary meaningless hedonism. Every itch scratched, every base desire satisfied. But there is a hollow void at the center of that. Even a pet dog will lose its mind when given endless food, treats, and toys if it doesn't have an actual person to play with, and I'd like to believe we are somewhat more cognitively sophisticated than dogs. Think back on the best meals you've ever had. I've had some very good ones. Some were memorable because of the quality of the food. But the memories of meals I hold most dear were dinners I made myself for family, not-very-good cookies my young daughter baked for me, meals shared with friends while travelling, crappy hot dogs cooked over a campfire. It's human connection that brings us the most lasting joy, and AI is antithetical to it.
