It's really mesmerizing to see how "tech" is leading us straight into cultural stagnation. Nothing is new, everything is just rehashed slop pushed by button-pushers - like these dime a dozen "game rendering through AI" videos.

I dusted off a (paper) comic books and entertainment magazine from the 2000s the other day and I was in utter shock by how incredibly rich and varied everything was compared to the infinite boredom of the pop culture landscape of today, AI and all. It felt like a glimpe into some kind of Star Trek utopia where people could just freely explore any creative endeavours.

I also just noticed that a AI-scammer in my area worked his way into a local art exhibit organized by cute elderly people, passing himself as some genius painter invited as a "guest of honor"... even though all the pieces are straight up MidJourney vomit printed on canvas. Seing this kind of utter deception cascade all the way down into local events is even more depressing than the widespread art theft that this tech relies on. And no one seems to be willing to speak up, because of course artists are shy and are affraid to make a fuss.

At this point the only single good use of AI in the creative field is the animation helping feature of Cascadeur, all trained on internal data. Pretty much everything else is derivative slop ...
