AI trash content

I don’t think the effect AI is having on art is that novel but a continuation of trends. Most media that is not by truly independent artists are made by studios that need to make money and most artists still even need to make money though making art. Art is stripped of meaning to be made into a commodity to be sold and turned into content. Marvel is the peak of this, bland tasteless content that is designed to be as easy to consume as possible. So much content is franchised based off of preexisting works to keep making media easier to consume. The experimental art has been lost as it has greater risk. Indie games as a category has come to just refer to slightly smaller studios like Larian. This applies even if art was based on more radical themes like Disco Elysium. Capital is just putting art into this blender to make it into content, sanding off all the interesting aspects and AI will be just an accelerant to this process. AI will just reprocess content into a slightly different shape so it can be consumed. It is a grim outlook for media that requires a larger budget. I am only really hopefully for the most inexpensive media to have any real creative capacity as this continues. I am worried movies, shows and video games will become more like Marvel movies. Conservative media will be like right wing podcasters and more “left leaning” media will feel like the corporate slop DEI like what too much current star trek has become. Interesting writing and any interesting ideas will be avoided not out of malicious intention but just because that is how the system operates.
