Human decision making is often driven by greed. AI will allow us to generate essentially infinite customizable content, probably with the ability to imitate famous beloved authors. There’ll probably be softwares you can employ to generate your own stories, and make them infinitely customizable.
We’re at the very beginning and we already see Amazon swamped with AI generated content and art. I’m worried about the future of literature. I’m worried about the future of humanity.
I have no understanding of how people are so confident everything will be fine. Again, we’re profit driven. I don’t think publishers are going to stand for the moral ground.
It already feels like (with how rampant social media content is) nothing is special anymore.
If they get better than people at writing engaging and thought-provoking and interesting books, than they will take over the book industry. However, then we do get better books. Just fewer authors.
We’re not there yet. I don’t close we are. AI progress seems to be so staggered that I can’t tell if we’re on the cusp of the next giant leap or the next giant stagnation. But we’ll know if we get there.
