Separating AI reality from hyped-up fiction isn’t at all times easy. That’s why we’ve created the AI Hype Index—a straightforward, at-a-glance summary of the whole lot you should know in regards to the state of the industry.
Last 12 months, the fantasy writer Joanna Maciejewska went viral (if such a thing remains to be possible on X) with a post saying “I would like AI to do my laundry and dishes in order that I can do art and writing, not for AI to do my art and writing in order that I can do my laundry and dishes.” Clearly, it struck a chord with the disaffected masses.
Regrettably, 18 months after Maciejewska’s post, the entertainment industry insists that machines should make art and artists should do laundry. The streaming platform Disney+ has plans to let its users generate their very own content from its mental property as an alternative of, y’know, paying humans to make some latest Star Wars or Marvel movies. Elsewhere, it seems AI-generated music is resonating with a depressingly large audience, on condition that the AI band Breaking Rust has topped ’s Country Digital Song Sales chart. If the people demand AI slop, who’re we to disclaim them?
