Let's be real, western cultural dominance in pop culture will collapse because of AI, there simply doesn't exist a correction mechanism so the problem will continue to get worse as execs double and triple down on this ego driven malinvestment
Ten years from now, popular culture will be unrecognizable and most likely predominantly Asian
ABE: "French? Why the fuck French?"
JOE: "I'm going to France."
ABE: "You should go to China."
JOE: "I'm going to France."
ABE: "I'm from the future. You should go to China."
Absolutely agree. Even before AI, the corporatization of Hollywood over the last couple of decades was shifting the winds that direction, at least as far as I have observed. This will just accelerate that fact even faster.
That still leaves the question of Western social media, which seems to be where most of their pop culture is coming from nowadays. YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Twitch have the youth of the global south glued to them. Ishowspeed drawing the crowds he has across the world shows this.
Will AI effect these platforms as well?
