Stories unite us -- they give us shared narratives that make reality and its infinite mysteries coherent So what happens when AI gives everyone on-demand stories uniquely tailored to them? We lose the last shared fabric. Then we will reinvent bards / storytellers once again (but not before a period of great incoherence)

imho, we have group instinct to pursue large prizes, and multiplayer AI is likelier to thrive than a single-body prosthetic. there definitely will be on-demand "blurbs", but there may remain an opportunity for AI to tailor a larger local narrative that can snowball past a historic threshold. then again, we always seem to find some common threat to unify us after tolerating the preceding concentration of adversarial pressure. idk how this is going to resolve, but I think the audience you described is worse off, and closer to a future saturated with psychotic breaks.

We are already losing the connections, what is genuine anymore, what truly is true?

@adam-
Agree about the power of stroytelling, but this also assumes that everyone will use AI for this purpose. Cultural storytelling still has a strong bulwark against those trying to repurpose it, even though it does eventually get reinterpreted through modern day filters.

The first phase is shaping right now, where we will tell all the stories that are deep within that we never had the resources to bring to light. AI is unlocking this. I was just tinkering with the new MidJounrey video and whoah. You can make your own anime series now... Then, the second phase will be the fully curated to each person, some will opt in and some out. The greater divides to connection across the world will take place. We already have problems with loneliness. But imagine if every receptor in your brain can't tell the difference of "real" conmection vs. engineered? Third we come full circle to even more engaging ways to connect and share stories since as you said this is part of what makes the tapestry of humanity unite.
