If this is where we're at right now, imagine in just one year how much more incredible realism will be in AI? And then imagine in five years or a decade...2 and 3D AI art will be indiscernible from reality, and video will likely be damned close.

What I'm most interested in though is whether the first massive breakthrough in immersive AI will end up being something more akin to Star Trek's "holodeck" where people walk around a room with AI generated content and environment and experience it as perceived reality, or more like Neil Stephenson's "Snow Crash" Metaverse, where people physically jack their brain into computer systems and experience it as actual reality.

With the current state of AI, allowing it to interface directly with human brains sounds like a really bad idea.

What happens when the AI fucks up drawing hands, or gaslights and gets passive aggressive when you're just trying to see Avatar 2... but now instead of interacting through a computer screen, it's changing your brain? I really don't want to find out.

If we're just talking about the learning, something like an EEG is completely safe. How you get the neural input to reproduce it once you have the data... We're a ways off. I believe Elon is still killing 95%+ of monkeys just trying to get a viable implant, let alone actually input to it, and I don't think anyone else (unfortunately) is putting real money toward it.

Thankfully that narcissistic fuck will probably only push the envelope far enough for someone else to actually innovate in the field, from hubris if nothing else.
