of note:
Artificial intelligence (AI) and its potential implications had for some time largely been subjects of academic debate. However, the introduction of ChatGPT, which allows anyone to easily produce writing or translations or to engage in text-based dialogue, sparked the rapid spread of generative AIs. Its release made it apparent that the applicability of generative AI was by no means limited to text, and the subsequent months saw a quick succession of launches of new services and content that expanded generative AI into a variety of domains with close ties to digital entertainment, including images, video, and music. I believe that generative AI has the potential not only to reshape what we create, but also to fundamentally change the processes by which we create, including programming.
We also intend to be aggressive in applying AI and other cutting-edge technologies to both our content development and our publishing functions. In the short term, our goal will be to enhance our development productivity and achieve greater sophistication in our marketing efforts. In the longer term, we hope to leverage those technologies to create new forms of content for consumers, as we believe that technological innovation represents business opportunities.
AI is the future of cheap entertainment, unfortunately
It was kind of the same for Photoshop. Once it (and similar tools) became accessible to everyone, everyone was a “graphic designer.”
I don’t know if it’s a great analog, but I expect a similar revolution in a lot of fields, with the experts who are able to wield it effectively being the ones making the big bucks.
perfect analogy! the printing press made handwriting obsolete, video killed the radio star, etc
