“The end game is just-in-time per-user generated content, leaving everyone hyper addicted and isolated with little to no shared cultural references between us.”
– Artist and software developer
Sterling Crispin, doubling down on his November 2023
warning, that “infinite high-quality media generated on a per-user basis will erode our shared world model and narratives.” OpenAI and Meta’s
announcements of social AI video platforms appear to align with Crispin’s prediction that eventually, all content will be generated on demand and entirely unseen by other people, leaving “each person literally in their own world.”
