Gemini and the supply paradox of AI

A more interesting “bear case” for AI is that, if you look at the list of industries that leading AIs like GPT-4 are capable of disrupting—and therefore making money off of—the list is lackluster from a return-on-investment perspective, because the industries themselves are not very lucrative. What are AIs of the GPT-4 generation best at? It’s things like:

writing essays or short fictions

digital art

chatting

programming assistance

    AI will utterly upend the entertainment industry. Once AI can generate movie-length animated output, Hollywood will go the way of the vaudeville. Directors, film crew, actors and all the supply chain and ancillary industries revolving around movie-making will be obsolete.

      II thin it’s actually possible. Normally the argument against is that “AI can’t be creative” but when was the last time Hollywood made a creative movie? “Write a script for Spiderman movie. Include origin story. Spiderman will fight Green Goblin. Again.”.

        Most Pixar films. They’re entirely animated in cg, and yet I highly doubt the ability of an ai to generate a better final product.
