do we really need more content, or anything, really, as a race of humans? ai is a net producer and i feel like in 5 years the content produced by ai will be 99.9% of the content in existence power law applies especially well when production gets cheaper and more scalable (think horses vs cars) having too many horses was an issue (read on why brooklyn has elevated ground floor), cars came to the rescue (as net "producers" of productivity), but now cars are a huge issue (cheap, available, ubiquitous) humans can't possibly compete with ai in terms of how cheap and scalable content production is, hence will be replaced fully by ai the main question is: do we actually need more? the conclusion i always come too is no. the reality, though, disagrees (as usual) and greedy human lizard brains want more, more, more. it's just the "more" won't be the "more" we're imagining now. it will be top-quality, ofc, better than most humans can produce today, but it will not be fullfilling. it will lead to more and more loneliness and depression. what humans can do is not scalable (think, gathering with friends over a good meal, going camping, etc) and this is precious imo, be the net producer of happiness in other people's lives — that's what matters the most "net producer of content"? leave it to machines. it's a war humans can't win. be the net producer of happiness. produce real moments. produce genuine connections.
