      Yeah. I’ve already checked out of most contemporary entertainment. Automating the banality of it and increasing the slop flow won’t actually affect me personally all that much, except that I’d have to hear about such slop from peers and students alike, and probably have to hear about it here too, including defense of it by any number of cliches.

      One thing that I think is ironic is that supporters of the technology would claim that this lowered bar to create products would democratize cultural production. However, I think it's likely that the deluge of cultural production would lead to an increased reliance on centralized curators (both manual and algorithmic) since it would become harder and harder to sift through the morass and find something you care about.

        there was already far more creative work produced than you could possibly discover or consume. "discoverability" was already an impossible problem

            You become more reliant on social networks of trust. You'll take the suggestion to consume media from a friend far more favourably than some Facebook targeted ad
