This should be on the wall in every math classroom, as a warning against getting high on data.

    It might be correct. Given the rise of generative content, I can imagine in 2050 people will just generate new Batman movies with a click of a button all the time.

    Imagine a future where everyone is watching their own AI generated content, listening to their own AI generated music. We won't have any collective experience with those things to share anymore. Sounds awful.

    80 years ago people would have said the same thing about listening to music or watching what's on TV 40 years ago.

    It was unthinkable to have personal music that you could freely choose because everyone listened to radio, together, in a room.

    And before the birth of portable media devices and streaming, everyone watched what's on the TV that day.

    We've already lost a lot of collective feeling that previous generations had.

    You don’t even need to prompt. In a TikTok fashion it will give you new content tailored just for you all the time. You just sit in front of the TV and it will keep generating. It will also know how engaged you are, so if you stop paying attention it will try win you back by giving you some dopamine rush.

    Nah, that's too risky... from a bad movie perspective. Instead, a whole lot of [topic] obsessives will generate loads of variations on [topic] and come to a consensus on which prompts generate the best movies/shows.

    So when you want to watch a movie about [topic] you'll be able to choose from a curated list of options or take the risk and come up with your own.

    If we want a market economy for such things it'd behoove us--as a society--to make sure the people who put in the work to figure out the best prompts get paid for their work.
