as a consumer, i am having a hard time convincing myself that this material, conjured inside a computer, would be of any interest.

i like to think that only the real deal will have real value.

Many sides to this for one there’s a lot of people in the world who simply don’t care where their entertainment comes from as long as it makes them happy.

Another side is. I’ve never met most celebrities, I’ve seen them in movies and on tv and read about things they did. If someone creates a perfect recreation of a well known celebrity acting in a movie, then go on to show that recreation showing up at red carpet events and doing interviews with other perfect recreations of well known personalities, write articles about things they did etc, and no one ever told me that they were not the real person, how would I ever know?

Same goes for double if they just create a new set of celebrities, the fact is that new people appear in this space every day, someone I’ve never seen before suddenly makes it big with a new song or something and it’s the first I’ve ever heard of it, I have no way to verify if it’s a real person or not. Sure I can look it up but all I find is a bunch of generated articles, tweets, interviews etc designed specifically to convince me that they are real.

In the future, how would you know? We’re not far off from AI content being indistinguishable from the real thing.

This is a valid concern.

However, if you are somewhat more observant, you can usually tell when something is off.

For example, in music, the sounds of synthesized orchestras can be distinguished from real ones. Autotune can be detected and it tends to give an “uncanny valley” / annoying effect on the attentive listener.

Then again most people don’t usually care about those things.

Guess time will tell.

Also, CGI. It’s eveywhere and noone minds as long it’s well done.
