It's just going to get too good to even detect, especially because AI can just train itself to beat it's own detection software. Think about the consequences of there being no more trust in any video, in terms of knowing the truth about anything going on in the world. The level of propaganda that can be done. The fact that you cannot determine whether a crime occurred or not. If AI can fool anything than we literally have lost our ability to record the truth.
I am looking forward to the democratization of media. When anyone can just generate movie content, music, games, etc. We will soon have an infinite amount of entertainment at our disposals that will only get better as time moves forward. We are not far from it today. I'd say in a decade years almost everything will be generated by AI and there will be very little distinction between it and reality. And anyone can do it. I look forward to the day where I can just write a story and show it off in a worthy media. I don't need hundreds of millions of dollars to do so, and that day is coming very near.
I think there will be a pretty big market for AI-specific content. I could see a new ecosystem around AI, review sites for AI movies, games, etc. Video sites specific for AI content where people upvote the best ones, like how old school Newgrounds used to tailor to Flash videos. Live-streams of non-stop AI generated music genres, an infinite stream of never ending new music. You could generate a sequel to any movie, or replace the lead character with someone else. The possibilities that are in our fingertips and really isn't far away is astonishing.
I think AI can save the US economy if done correctly. It can spark a lot of new natural demand for AI generated content to spark consumer spending. And the investment going into it is currently huge and almost carrying the market. Without the AI hype I really have no idea where we would be as an economy right now.
And the use cases are kind of infinite for AI. The use cases in healthcare to make it cheaper. The use cases in optimization and efficiencies is crazy. AI has already made progress in mathematics, improving coding algorithms, become better at diagnosing certain conditions, etc. And in terms of coding, I can say with experience it has already far surpassed humans in terms of breadth and like 8 in 10 developers in terms of depth from what I can see at a big tech company. It's simply a force multiplier like we have not seen before because this time it can really scale out of control and improve things at a rate we truly couldn't comprehend a decade ago.
So I really hope we don't demonize AI just because it's of it's scary negatives. It has a lot of benefits to society and the fact that so many people view it negatively could really hurt what is going on right now in terms of investment and research. Especially because it can objectively improve our lives in so many ways.
