Things that are trivial to create or obtain have no value or meaning. By democratising software and entertainment, AI will inevitably devalue it. When you can generate an Oscar grade movie by typing in a prompt, that movie is meaningless, all other movies are meaningless, and movies as a whole become irrelevant. Same for music, video games, and crucially social media. This may be the thing that kills the dopamine machine. It seems likely to me that the next generation would grow up with all the entertainment in the world and care about precisely none of it, valuing only things that are meaningful because they are not freely given and have to be earned through real effort: a partner, a family, kids, military victory, and the ability to make the world a better place through hard work… Millennial/GenZ syndrome where video games or tiktok respectively offer endless escapism so kids never have to grow up and ultimately become helpless manchildren would come to an abrupt end. Why devote your life to gaming when games are worth nothing? Why watch streamers when you can generate streamers just for you? Perhaps as most forms of children’s entertainment become irrelevant, Gen Beta kids would once again aspire to grow up as quickly as possible so they can work and contribute like adults, just like ye old times before extended childhoods and adults with toy collections. 🤔 submitted by /u/Idiberug
