I'm kind of hoping that the youth will recognize that stuff that can be made with AI is just nothing special anymore, and find something that is (or still is) special. I don't know what that is, maybe something that AI can't do on a fundamental level (maybe something physical?).

(Of course, at this point it might be necessary to point out that "the youth" is a diverse bunch, and some will be like this and others like that.)

don't really think there will be anything - this is an entity that can learn anything (even physical things) faster than any human or the collective of humanity for that matter.

I've found analog photography to be a rewarding hobby, and although an LLM can help me refresh my memory, the overall experience is certainly not something that an LLM can replace.

Yeah, it can "learn" anything except how to have a fulfilling emotional connection

sure. so we'll spend the rest of our lives dating and chatting?

anything that doesn't explicitly involve interaction with a human is RLable. frankly even those things are as well.

We also connect to people through art and play. So if we automate those things, then I guess we'll spend the rest of our lives living unsatisfying experiences.

anything that can be automated will be automated.

If you "automate human interaction and connection" you simply no longer have those things. Which, from the top down, seems to be a goal, to isolate people from one another, make them 100% disposable cogs. As this chick in the streets of Paris said in some YT short when asked about "AI", fuck that, humans want to be together, you can't beat that. And why would we even want to... it's easier, and more sensible, for a person to seek help or get over themselves, than for them to drain all humanity out of the rest of humanity just so they themselves can blend in without having to change. Fix the root problems, rather than spending such huge amounts of resources and intellectual integrity for workarounds that, at the end of the day, are kind of sad and cringe.

The thing I’ve noticed is that if anyone can do something, many will. And then, like always, the challenge will be in doing something unique.

What if they find it special because they build memories with the AI games they play? Is that something you hope doesn't happen?

I hope the kids learn that putting in work to create something by hand has value beyond the result itself. I hope they try making art, games, books by hand, and learn from the experience of failing, and revel in the joy of success. I hope that through years of doing this over and over they start to develop their own unique perspective on life, and then contribute that perspective back to the world through art.
