Is something really worth calling “content” if you don’t watch, read, or listen to it? My 1st instinct is that using AI in place of watching, listening, or reading something defeats the purpose of it being something called “content.” My real gripe is the overuse of calling anything & everything, “content.” That overuse came about as the term, content creator, was popularized over the last decade or so.
People huffing their own farts or just grifting, (same thing?) call their bullshit, content, in a reference to the fact that they made it. After all, they call themselves content creators, so they call everything they stream or record, content. This doesn’t make it good, or quality, & muddies the waters on that quality. Everything gets marketed as “must watch, quality content,” with the word, content, signaling effort has been put in, but the return on investment of time for the viewers is not enough. Usually the effort isn’t there from the creator & it eventually leads to less views.
This is what leads people to even want to use AI to keep up on certain things, over the pleasure of enjoying it themselves. It’s not enjoyable usually, people catch on, even if they don’t realize why, & in this way, AI becomes useful to save time & get a cliff notes, I guess. That’s part of what I use certain threads here for, to get a general understanding of something I would never sit & watch in full, like an average, 8 hour, Kino Casino stream.
