alt Hacker News>it really is a new and exciting world...
The point is that from now on, there will be nothing really new, nothing really original, nothing really exciting. Just endless stream of re-hashed old stuff that is just okayish..
Like an AI spotify playlist, it will keep you in chains (aka engaged) without actually making you like really happy or good. It would be like living in a virtual world, but without having anything nice about living in such a world..
We have given up everything nice that human beings used to make and give to each other and to make it worse, we have also multiplied everything bad, that human being used to give each other..

I heard this saying recently “The problem with comfort is that it makes you comfortable.”
On what do you base your prediction?
Is it because the AI is trained with existing data? But, we are also trained with existing data. Do you think that there's something that makes human brain special (other than the hundreds of thousands years of evolution but that's what AI is all trying to emulate)?
This may sound hostile (sorry for my lower than average writing skills), but trust me, I'm really trying to understand.

AI can both explore new things and exploit existing things. Nothing forces it to only rehash old stuff.
>without actually making you like really happy or good.
What are you basing this off of. I've shared several AI songs with people in real life due to how much I've enjoyed them. I doing see why an AI playlist couldn't be good or make people happy. It just needs to find what you like in music. Again coming back to explore vs exploit.
> there will be nothing really new
How is this the conclusion? Isn't this post about AI solving something new? What am I missing?
