I believe the same thing was said about the Internet in the 90s. “It speeds up communication, but how would anyone earn money from it?”.
Although I don’t think we are anywhere close to AGI or anything like that, current AI development fundamentally change a few things in our lives: how we find and process information (information retireval works VERY good), how we interact with computers (natural language instead of clicking through interfaces) and how productive we are.
Video generation models are going to bring entertainment to a whole new level. A single person can now create an entire movie without even buying a camera. Entire game development studio can build worlds larger than ever before. Text generation makes disinformation and propaganda insanely cheap and effective. Invigilation will be so much easier now, as owning a communication platform does not only allow you to search for messages by phrase, but now it’s possible to search by actual meaning. Ads will be so much more personalized now, as AI chat platforms suddenly know us much better than Google - the current leader in this field.
So:
there isn’t anything real there
I really don’t think so
