Great insights! The comparison to NFTs and Bored Apes really hits home and put things in perspective. Good stories with the human touch will always survive.
Yes, to all of that, but... what if originality is actually no longer as prized as viral familiarity? To the generations growing up consuming short-form 'stories' or entertainment experiences on mobile via TikTok/YouTube etc... perhaps watching variations on popular/viral content is as engaging (if not, perhaps, more so) than genuinely original, human-crafted stories?
Big al! I think it's not one size fits all in any generation. there will be consumers of AI created content and people who only want human made, etc etc. Smaller and smaller communities consuming the things they love
Part of my musing comes from the feeling that we have had our brains 'rewired' to interact with stories in bursts, and to be soothed by patterns - recognisable patterns. How many of us have the attention span anymore to be audiences to stories lacking the interaction points of a piece of content - remix, like, share, comment etc?
