Is AI getting boring? This latest piece delves into how AI is losing its new-car smell
The development of AI technology has reached exciting heights, with tech giants investing billions into AI models meant to transform various industries, reports The Intelligencer. While the potential is vast, the current state of AI has raised questions about its quality. As AI becomes more integrated into everyday life, many are left wondering if what they’re seeing—whether in images, writing, or videos—is AI-generated, or if it just appears subpar.
AI’s Impact on Everyday Content
Since the launch of ChatGPT, generative AI has been touted as a game-changer, but the tools currently in use often produce unimpressive results. Instead of delivering revolutionary outcomes, AI-generated content tends to fill voids with low-quality, repetitive, and generic output. This “just good enough” content is flooding emails, websites, and even marketing materials, leaving many unimpressed by its lack of originality and creativity.
AI’s Future in Popular Culture
In the public eye, AI is becoming associated not just with advanced technology but also with lacklustre content. Whether it’s music, movies, or advertisements, anything perceived as unoriginal or dull is quickly labelled as AI-generated. Despite the hype from tech companies, for many users, AI is starting to symbolise things that simply don’t meet expectations, blurring the line between high-tech promise and everyday disappointment.
Will the Pacific Ever Get to That Point?
Here in the Pacific, AI is starting to take pride of place in select industries and sectors of society. It is increasingly getting used by students to organise their assignments and projects, and in workplaces to streamline work processes to cut down workload. Whether there is going to be a disgust of such work is yet to be seen.
