The Sora stuff is so impressive and sexy, but it’s the Google announcement of high token numbers and accuracy that will make a much larger impact imo. Once we crack the low content limit and accuracy issues, things will get pretty intense. And that’s not even accounting for the coming swarm of agents.
I thought the stuff AI "created" was derivative and stupid, until a work colleague asked it to make a script about our office and he was cackling about how funny it was. After that I had no faith left in humanity anymore.

The reason it's often derivative and stupid is because it's usually being generated by derivative and stupid people. It's often said that AI generated images have a "look," but a quick sweep through a large collection of random MidJourney images, and you'll see when people get creative, many of the outputs would never be recognized as AI at all.
I think that AI will save live theatre.
Folks will crave watching real people perform.
I actually wonder how far this effect will travel, because I think you're right. In a world where human expression is made more rare, it should become more valuable.
Then again, it could be like CGI in movies. Comparatively we're in the 90s of CGI... Jurassic Park was amazing but for the most part it ruins things when not done well. Nowadays most CGI blends into the background and you don't even notice. Perhaps we get to a point where the line between a novel written by an AI and a person becomes so faint we can't tell the difference?

We could be there now. There's a ton of ghostwritten crap books on the market that people lap up because they enjoy them, not because they are great works of art. The majority of people would be hard-pressed to define what makes a great novel outside of their personal preferences. Apart from any obvious grammatical errors or glaring structure and plot issues, I'm confident AI could write credible novels today. At least Harlequin romances and the like.
Ever notice how many books by James Patterson there are in an airport kiosk at any one time? He writes the outline then has an army of ghost-writers who may as well be AI.

I think there was an article talking about scripted TV suggesting about 6% had signs of AI in 2022. Soap Opera type television could easily be written by AI with no detectable loss in quality.

I'd say we're at a point where we could fool a lot of people, but maybe not quite to where it could produce something likely to catch on. Fluff that Patterson or Dan Brown churn out get scoffed at by literary folks, but there's no denying people are drawn to them. I haven't seen anything from AI on that level yet, but I expect it soon.
Dealing with high volumes of text still trips it up, but what Google recently announced shows incredible text amounts and very low errors. Once we can get to a point where it can hold a couple novels worth of material in memory and work off it, we should see some enormously interesting things.
Asked Chat GPT to go over a job description and conduct a mock interview with me in a 'turn by turn' style and then provide feedback.
The feedback was pretty bland, but the questions were surprisingly on point.
This is more of an indictment of the corporate interview process than anything. If every company is asking the same boring questions and candidates are preparing for those questions, what's the point of this exercise? It certainly doesn't tell you if they'd be good at the job or not.
This is my view with most of these chat bot applications. They're great at making easier the stuff that you shouldn't have to do in the first place. A shortcut through the bureaucracy. In a few years you'll have the hr department using chatGPT to compose an email based on bullet points and all the employees using chatGPT to summarize the email into bulletpoints to read. Crappy, high tech game of telephone.

My buddy had an interesting use case when he was prepping for an interview. He read the website as much as he could, but he's also dyslexic, so he more scanned it. By putting in several of the webpages and having chat analyze them, he was able to use the voice feature to have it speak back to him some key takeaways that he definitely missed.
Many seem to be missing that one extra step that helps 10x the process. Instead of "help me prep for an interview at a wholesale distributor", it needs to be "help me prep for an interview at _this_ wholesale distributor."
There's either some bad Photoshop done to this photo or it's A.I. generated. There are theories that Kate's poor health is being covered up, and this doesn't help.
And it begins. This was predicated years ago that ai generated photos/videos would change the world as we knew it, as society would lose the ability to know what's real or not.
We're officially stepping into that world as we speak.
