A more interesting “bear case” for AI is that, if you look at the list of industries that leading AIs like GPT-4 are capable of disrupting—and therefore making money off of—the list is lackluster from a return-on-investment perspective, because the industries themselves are not very lucrative. What are AIs of the GPT-4 generation best at? It’s things like:
writing essays or short fictions
digital art
chatting
programming assistance
II thin it’s actually possible. Normally the argument against is that “AI can’t be creative” but when was the last time Hollywood made a creative movie? “Write a script for Spiderman movie. Include origin story. Spiderman will fight Green Goblin. Again.”.
Most Pixar films. They’re entirely animated in cg, and yet I highly doubt the ability of an ai to generate a better final product.
