Like it or not, we will soon live in a world where many of the faces we encounter will be generative masks worn by AI agents.
I don’t get what he’s predicting here. Is he saying we’re going to have AI robots with human faces walking around soon?
The reason investment levels are staggering (and they are staggering) is that AI will soon inhabit all aspects of our lives, often embodied as intelligent actors we have to engage with throughout our day.
Who is going to make me engage with these AI “intelligent actors?”
It’s human pattern matching gone haywire. For people who hyperfocus on businesses and profit streams, they’re going to see the next big thing in anything that looks remotely disruptive.
The promise of cell phones -> everyone will use it -> massive profit for first movers.
The promise of the Internet -> everyone will use it -> massive profit for first movers.
The promise of smartphones -> everyone will use it -> massive profit for first movers.
The promise of gig economy -> everyone will use it -> massive profit for first movers.
etc.
These LLMs/gen AI are superficially impressive, had an enough money behind them and had evangelists willing to oversell. Once enough companies start investing, no one wants to be left out and it snowballs from there.
Now, like an MLM, they have to get more buy-in or they take the loss. Anyone already invested needs more money to come in to get out with a profit. They’ll say whatever the fuck it takes.
