Give it 2 years, it will happen, and it will make billions.

In 5 years, unlimited interactive NSFW video games that will be personalized and remember you.

In 10 years this could effectively be the end of Hollywood. Imagine if it can write a story and feed into 3d engine and output pitch perfect videos.

Sounds like TikTok or am I missing something? I'm not on social media (I guess I'm here on occasion), but it just sounds like a feed of shit to consume... Would it really be that much better than what we've got now?

TikTok is scary addictive but it’s not perfectly addictive.

This could be close to wireheading.

As someone with severe ADHD and a brain surgery I am super susceptible to this and have to be very careful.

Hackernews is addictive enough.

It absolutely will be the end of 'turn the crank and out comes a mediocre film we can put into a red box and make a few million off of'

It's unlikely it will produce works that are doing new things and creating new styles because currently all AI has one thing in common - it's very good at replicating existing ideas and performing style transfer to blend those ideas. It's going to get better at those things but there's no reason to think that it will be truly creative in the sense of creating something that isn't a style transfer in the near future.

What it will do is create an incredibly low entry barrier to making truely creative work with a human in the toolchain at the highest levels of abstraction. You won't need to pay a team of actors and stage hands and audio people and editors etc. You'll be able to make world class cinema with a desktop PC and an AWS account. It'll probably result in a massive explosion of content (both good and terrible).

Once we create an AI that can be truly creative in the way specified above, I think it's about time for biological humanity to accept that our time as the most advanced intelligence in our little corner of the universe is over.

I just want to feed in my favorite novels that never made it to screen.
