I imagine in a few decades we might have AI media. You could read a web novel with a fewer or a lot of pictures, or read it as a manhwa / webtoon, or as an anime, or as a virtual reality 3D experience that is semi-interactive. And you could give instructions to shorten or expand it, or even diverge in the plot a little, or change the characters. More like the holodeck with a VR headset.
So anything except actually enjoying reading a book.
Maybe more like someone reading you a book while you can ask questions or give feedback. And maybe instead of just watching pictures / illustrations, you could also describe your own imagination more detailed or give some rough sketches and create your own illustrations to the text. Like a modding feature for books and you can share the mods with other readers.
Again, none of those things are “enjoying a book.”
And you don’t need AI to do any of those things. You can do them now if you want.
No you can't, economics won't allow it. Can you turns a novel into a comic or an anime or life action tv series? Creating good art or entertainment doesn't just require some brilliant creative idea, but specialists who work together on things, using expensive specialist equipment. Youtube and cheap video cameras allowed for an explosion of individual content creators to create shows, replacing things like e.g. cooking shows, or shows about building or houses or traveling or gardening.
With the right AI tools you could replace a lot of that. Obviously at a lower maximum quality. But we are already being fed corporate entertainment slop. There will be a lot of AI slop, but a few people will be able to turn their ideas into reality even if it's not quite "Hollywood quality". This short currently seems the best example. And the tools will only get better, and the medium will expand.
When VR headsets came out (oculus, vive) there was a lot of talk about VR movies. I suspect that only with AI tools will we be able to have the creative freedom (= low capital costs) to do things like that.
I’m not talking about economics. I’m talking about creating art for the sake of your own soul.
You are talking about content. That’s the disconnect.
Well, economics always enters into it.
Is that short I linked content or art? It cost time and money but it's vastly less than what it would take to create traditionally. Without AI, that guy might never have been able to create that, the "the sake of his soul". I want "working people" to be able to give it a try with whatever tools, including AI. Become directors or authors of "holonovels". AI allows for a new type of art medium.
There will always be content or slop. Always people who just want to sell garbage or people who want to be creative and think they can but are no good. But the tools empower both. A lot of content on youtube is scary garbage, like even before AI there was stuff that genuinely made me horrified, but that is an issue with moderation and not listening to the demands of the community. But there is so much amazing videos too which wouldn't have been possible or found an audience without the platform and the tools (e.g. cheap video cameras, video editing software).
PS: I do wish for standards or regulations so it's clearly marked which parts are generated and which parts are human made.
