Just imagine when this merges with 3D modeling and VR.

The VR pr0n, the video games with dynamic AI characters. Dead actors and historical figures resurrected into movies and education.

I'm not so scared about my future nursing home now.

Live people will probably make hella money with VR teledildonics in the space between when the products first become available and when AI learns the process well enough to outperform any human at a fraction of the cost.

Humans have always outperformed generators in terms of discriminating live captures against generated data. There is no guarantee that that continues, but there is no sign of that balance of power changing.

I get where you're coming from but we can expect a doubling every 2 years in the ability of AI systems, and billions of dollars are being thrown at it every year to ensure that happens.

Even if we need 1000x precision to make it indistinguishable from humans, that's 20 years away. 16,000x is 30 years away.

> but we can expect a doubling every 2 years in the ability

By what measure of “ability”? And for how long can we expect that, and based on what is that expectation justified?

Finally, I’ll be able to act out my Abe Lincoln sex fantasy.
