Anyone that has access to GPT-3 should give this a try (I'm sure it works with other language models). This comment has a prompt that works quite well and includes some examples:

Note that a) you can ask GPT-3 to actually do the illustration prompts inline and b) if you don't give it a topic it appears to (unsurprisingly in retrospect) rip off an existing work.

Reminds me of when cable tv became a thing and the “57 channels and nothing on” song https://youtu.be/YAlDbP4tdqc

Well, I think that ideally, if you have AI-generated content, the AI would generate content that's tailored specifically for you. It would have a good model of what you're interested in, and would know how to create an intrigue that you specifically will find interesting.

It will be AI generated shopping channel dynamically generating products for you to buy on subscription. This one of the solutions to the Drake equation

The future of ai generated content and entertainment is going to be wild! How long before we have ~unlimited high quality entertainment? Before an AI can generate infinite episodes of your favorite show, podcast, comedian, and so on. Going to be an interesting thing to watch unfold.

It's hard to say because even a model like GPT-3 is limited in its ability to generate a textual story that remains coherent over time. When you're talking about generating video, you need to have lots of story and visual details remaining coherent over a very long time horizon. Generally speaking, I think this is an area where deep neural networks are fairly weak and symbolic AI shines. It's much easier to program a…

Just like most dreams. Can still be entertaining.

We've had practically unlimited entertainment for most purposes for at least the last couple of decades. There's far more e.g. TV being produced than anyone could watch in one lifetime.

But there is a limit on Breaking Bad episodes, for example. Just pump out new episodes. Could even have The Simpsons / Groundhog Day - style state-reset after each episode. Therefore the AI can make anything happen (Walter gets killed) and the produce another episode because you know that is just a multiverse branch.

> There's far more e.g. TV being produced than anyone could watch in one lifetime.

But is there far more of what any particular person would want to watch being produced than they would want to watch? Does anyone in the mood to watch something ever accept a less-than-preferred substitute?

If so, there is meaningful room for improvement in selection. (Not that I think AI is anywhere close to making a dent in it directly, though AI aids may increase productivity of human creative talent.) E.g., Instead of writing scripts from scratch, think of an AI writing first draft scripts from treatments, after training on a corpus of treatments and completed scripts.

Here is the dream... I plug my brain into a fully immersive wolrd within an AI driven Marvel movie that lasts my entire life. The matrix may actually be awesome, so sign me up as a coppertop.

What would you eat in this nightmare world?

Soylent, obviously.

I'm conflicted but interested in how all this plays out.

Traditionally stories, music, art, dance were mediums for humans to express ideas/culture/transmit stories/history to other humans.

When we get to a point where AI is able to generate an infinite stream of TikTok dances, jazz, film scripts, etc. It will be interesting to see how that affects society.

When you remove the soul, what is/was the point of entertainment?

Interesting times we live in!
