> It's scary to think about it but seems plausible—like if someone can make an app with Tiktok-like ubiquity of only AI content. Although to your point I imagine there will be so much nonsensical noise that curating will become a useful skill, it is today but even more so.

This just gave me a disturbingly vivid vision of exactly what you described. A seemingly likely future where everyone's in their homes scrolling endlessly on a TikTok-like app where there's literally infinite content being generated by the AI all the time, and as people like and dislike certain types of content, the AI just gets better and better at generating new videos...this is honestly kind of terrifying. I have no doubt this will exist one day, and that it'll print money for one company while billions of people are spending all their free time consuming it.

Well, what's so scary about this exactly? That's exactly what people do today on Tiktok, modulo the part where AI generates the content.

plus the part where NPCs generate the content.
