“It’s helpful to remember that for all the concern trolling about AI and how computers are taking over the world, one of the largest threats posed by AI is a human one: Bad actors can easily harness this technology to prey on people’s emotions, even if the content itself is patently ridiculous. And that’s scary.
“Remember when Sora came out and people were making videos of cats figure skating or bears flying?” Smailys says. “At the time, those were incredibly hard to make. But the wow factor goes away so fast.” As AI videos become more violent, or more explicit, or more disturbing, the chicken nugget begging for its life may seem quaint. “There is definitely a segment of the AI content-generation market that is willing to get views at any cost,” Smailys says.
It’s difficult to envision what, exactly, the future of user-generated AI video might look like. But with most platforms doing the bare minimum to regulate this kind of content, it seems inevitable that each person’s consumption will skew more toward computer-generated slop that taps into their deepest capacities for emotion without actually earning it. Maybe that looks like deepfake images of bombings and terrorist attacks. ”
