Artificial intelligence officially gets scary

Do you think there will come a point where we’re unable to differentiate? It’s east to emulate the plainer info and generic stuff but when ai content starts making me laugh and cry that will be very scary

It's easy to imagine, but I think shiels is asking whether such content will be as engaging as content that's been created by people. And if not, then will it ever be? And if that happens, how much further down the line is it?

There was just that AI Drake song that a lot of people liked, some people saying that it was better than some/most of his recent work. I don't listen to Drake so I wouldn't know, but when I heard this one ("Winters Cold" I believe its called) it sounded like a real Drake song, and a plausibly popular one at that.

Fair enough, but is this just another way of saying that a lot of modern pop is so generic it sounds like it could have been generated by an algorithm?

Yeah good point, and I think this applies to other forms of content as well (formulaic story structure for hollywoods films, pulp novels, etc.), where the consumer is expecting a reliable, familiar, and formulaically reproducible piece of content.

But yeah I'd say over the last couple months we've crossed into the era where AI content can realistically compete against human content in terms of consumer mindshare.

Not overall, of course, but we're starting to see instances of it, is what I mean.

surely by definition it will be maximally engaging, since that's the entire purpose of the AI. its already here in the form of recommendation engines. are they effective, do you think?

i did find the LRB article about spotify and their ai recommendations interesting though and made me think similar things to you.

AI already determines what media you consume - the next step is having it create it as well, completely removing humans from the loop
