I don't expect that to change without major tech changes and fundamental changes to how training data is gathered. This means there's little incentive for a company to promote any given work.2) It's not repeatable. Because of the nature of generative AI, the same exact prompts and selections will not produce the same or necessarily even similar work. Even if you can record it and transmit it to others (and I expect the gen AI companies to attempt to restrict/limit this, for various reasons), that it's so personalized is likely to limit the appeal. If it's reactive it won't even really be recordable in a meaningful way.3) The ultra-derivative, trope-laden stories it will produce will be initially extremely funny/amusing, but because they'll have nothing to say to anyone, operating solely as distorted mirrors to our culture (which is interesting but not compelling), they won't have staying power.I don't think it'll go away entirely - because of point 3, I think it'll kind of stick around as a way of mocking contemporary media for whatever period, of illustrating the most excessively dominant tropes and so on.Also, being real, the main success this tech could have is porn. People don't generally want to share that, and people have very specific likes/dislikes/etc. None of the three issues really applies to porn. Further, people will positively argue that it's more ethical to make porn this way than using real people (philosophically questionable, but an easy claim), which will help it er... penetrate the market. Whoever develops fully-personalized, especially interactive porn, no matter how derivative or trope-y (indeed those could be assets) that works very reliably, is going to make a lot of money. Note: I very much doubt this will us gen-AI for the images, they're error-prone and hallucinatory - more likely it'll use gen-AI for the behaviours, scenarios, interactions and so on, and some kind of proc-gen (rather than gen-AI) 3D graphics for the imagery.</blockquote>
