It’s an Al Pachino film from the early 2000s where an actress is created from a simulation, sorry spoilers. But its clear that this is already becoming a very real phenomenon that is making an impact on various entertainment and culture industries.
And in many ways culture IS already automated.
Does the addition of AI artist’s that people develop an attachment to really change the way we interact with culture?
Aaron, this post has sparked something important. Culture grows through shared experience, not scripts. But can we automate the conditions that let culture thrive? What if our job isn’t to replicate culture, but to build spaces where it naturally emerges? Curious what you’re thinking about here.
