Is AI ushring us to an era of “hyper-personalised media”? A time when each person can request the exact type of article, video, story, etc. that they like?
💭 Hyper-personal media
Draft
Work in Progress: This is still being written…
The exercise I did with Claude around AI predictions offered me a first example where I was co-building and requesting the type of article I wanted to read, with the angles I wanted to see explored.
Projecting such an example into a far distant1 future, does this mean a world where media becomes something self-served on demand?
I mean, we already broke the “when” alignment of media a long time ago:
- Before: The same media for everyone, consumed at the same time by everyone
- After: The same media for everyone, consumed at each person’s time of choice
Will AI drive us to break the “what” alignment as well? 🤔
- Before: The same media for everyone, consumed at each person’s time of choice
- After: Each person’s choice of media, consumed at each person’s time of choice
- TODO: Explore what it would be for books / movies
- TODO: Explore the “creativity / no inovation / more of the same” angle of criticism — i.e. we already have that! (formulaic media: pop music, sitcoms, romcoms, action movies)
