A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

In just a few decades we will probably be able to ask an AI for a movie or a game, and it will make one to our exact specifications. (self.showerthoughts)

I have talked to a Japanese professor about this. It is theoretically possible to use GPT or similar generative models to create a novel tailored to a single person and sell it to them.

Of course, some editing might be necessary. The dangerous aspect we are thinking? What if we can make an entire visual novel and lock that person in a perpetual loop of self-gratification? Pay more to unlock more chapters? Pay even more to unlock a specific route? Pay even even more to add a new love interest?

It is completely messed up, but sometimes we have this kind of Black Mirror talk as a thought experiment.
