Creators worldwide are facing mounting financial pressures as rapid advances in digital technologies and artificial intelligence continue to transform the cultural and creative industries, according to a new global report released by the UN culture agency, UNESCO, on Wednesday.
A steep decline of artistic progress is ahead of us. Things will get reused by corporations even more and we‘ll have to get used to not seeing as many actually new things which I find pretty sad.
It‘s exactly what happened to civilization in the Blade Runner universe. It may look futuristic but they‘re still seeing the same brands and hearing the same music and jingles from a century ago. There‘s very little actually new in a world where there‘s more content than anyone could consume in a lifetime and nostalgia is commodified to the absolute maximum.
I am a bit more hopeful, in a sense that new and creative things are still being rewarded (for example: balatro or mewgenics, in gaming). And human as a whole is very good at being creative.
I just hope that the new generation being raised with AI will have the same appreciation.
