For images specifically? Or do you mean discontent with ā€œintelligenceā€ in general?

I suppose with whatever we compare, if we compare beauty then will we desire ā€œbetterā€ visual beauty from AI then what the analog world provides. Will we prefer machine intelligence and friendships over human ones?

It’s an interesting thought experiment. Many people are already more comfortable engaging with the dopamine algorithms of social media than with real people. If those experiences become more realistic and complex, it certainly makes you wonder about human socialization…

The two films that come to mind are Blade Runner 2049, with the protagonist’s ā€œgirlfriendā€, and Wall-E, where people talk to each other through video screens and never turn their heads sideways šŸ™ˆ

Haha yes both great references, I confess I’m far more comfortable taking to machines than humans, they are more intelligent and logical. But I still enjoy the simple pleasures of nature and interacting with the environment. It will be an interesting future.
