Jeffrey Katzenberg: AI Will Take 90% of Artist Jobs on Animated Films In Just Three Years
(www.indiewire.com)
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Yea.
I think it's helpful to look out for the ways in which this sort of AI disruption won't actually be a disruption but instead a continuation of a trend and impetus that already exists.
Spitting out crappy cookie cutter films that are optimised to sell tickets as cheaply as possible without giving a fuck about the industry ... that's so much of Hollywood. Why wouldn't they give it a shot with AI. Same with the music industry.
Music has been predominantly bland for 20 years or more, in the mainstream channels. It's depressing.
And I want to say I just got older and so mainstream music isn't for me, but... it's bland. I'm not like older people aghast over Marilyn Manson. I'm older and fucking bored with how lame music is now.
That captures the difference so well.
It used to be that older people thought new music was evil or monstrous or too abrasive to count as music.
Now, they find it too boring to listen too.
If you didn’t see it, Beato did a nice video on how the music industry went to shit starting in the 90s once all the stations were monopolised leading to everything trying to appease only a few people’s tastes.
Oh yeah. I haven't seen that video and thanks for the recommendation, but I lived through Clear Channel and the rest scarfing up all my local radio stations and turning them to shit just as the internet was beginning to really catch on. They made it easy for the iPod revolution to happen, playing the same garbage on every station.
