The more I play around with the current state of some AI stuff, the more I wonder. I don't know if 10 years will be enough to make a noticeable difference in things, but I imagine the children born today will view things a lot differently with AI than we ever will.
Here's the lastest AI toy I've found, to play around with: https://perchance.org/ai-story-generator
Feed it a few prompts. Work with it just a little bit. And see how quickly and easily it generates a fairly readable and thought out story for you.
Now, it's got some obvious flaws, such as the old John Wayne movies used to have --- John would climb a tree in a red shirt, get shot by a bandit and fall out in a blue shirt, and then ride off into town to see the doc back in his white shirt -- but those seem to be memory limitations as the story grows larger over time.
It's also got some issues with repetitive cycles, such as "What are we going to do now?" "Eat cheese and go to bed." "Okay, but what are we going to do now." "Eat cheese and go to bed." "Sounds great! But what are we going to do now?"
And issues with characters just popping up in the middle of a scene making you go, WTF???
"Joe, Susie, and Tammy go to the pool together. Susie and Tammy go to the women's changing area to try out their new bikinis. Joe whistles and complements them pervertedly!"
WTF?? Joe was in the boys locker room just two sentences ago, getting beat up by the jocks for being with two babes! Now he's suddenly in the girl's shower, just cause he's tagged the "hero" of the story and the AI thinks everything should revolve around him??
It's not smart enough to make a cohesive story by itself, but it does a damn good job of taking the grunt work out of things. It'll describe buildings and places with just a prompt. Toss out some damn snappy dialog and interactions. It even follows some awfully confluted logic and is able to come to the proper conclusion.
Honestly, for all its flaws, it's impressed the hell out of me. Give these things another 20 years of development and progress, and we won't have authors anymore. We'll just go, "Alexa create me a new western, in the old Zane Grey style, about a dozen bandits attacking some poor girl on the range, and her father coming back and then hunting them all to extinction, one by gory one."
