The prospect of AI utilization in the cultural industry. It’s a personal idea.

The prospect of AI utilization in the cultural industry. It’s a personal idea.

• Literature: If you choose a style, theme, or famous character you want, a huge level of fiction will be automatically created. It’s Millie’s study room with unlimited books to read. For example, you can create and read a sequel to a classic masterpiece in the style and level of the original author. You can create a Harry Potter sequel in the style of Kim Yong-mi’s martial arts. If the current pace of AI development can continue, it can be implemented in 3-5 years. Webtoons, cartoons, everything.
• Movies: You can now start selling products that include famous actors with basic story settings + portrait rights contracts in a streaming package rather than a real shoot. When you enter Netflix and press the movie, the movie starts, but how the story goes behind it unfolds to meet the demands of viewers. All scenes are created live with AI. Additional characters can be purchased via DLC.

Then a million viewers will see a million different versions. Then services such as TikTok will be available. Thousands of viewers upload their own versions, and those who can’t be bothered to edit them while watching a movie should choose what they like. The profits from the popular version can be shared with the producer. A structure in which both producers and audiences can become producers. Technically, this is still possible in low definition. It can take years to complete like a real movie.

It is also possible that user inputs respond to the user’s facial expressions and postures beyond the level of voice or typing, and change the story to a style that the user would like the most. For example, even if you watch the same scene, you may have different levels of emotion from the one you expect, but not from the one you want the director to convey. Then, rather than what happens in this scene, you can set the level of sensitivity that the director wants to convey. It is possible to analyze the user’s tendencies and give the impression that the director intended. For example, an 80-year-old weak-hearted grandmother or a 40-year-old man who became insensitive to one or another shocking scene can feel the same level of fear/joy as the director intended.

• Music: I’m thinking about music, but actually, I don’t think much about it yet. How can AI’s advantage of improvisation be applied in the case of music that is three to five minutes long and has to be heard multiple times, as opposed to consumption as a finished product that can escape from daily life like a book or movie? Of course, the producer industry will be completely destroyed, but I’m not sure how it will change its way of consumption.
• Art: Perhaps the first industry to be affected by Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, DALL-E, etc. Everyone becomes a producer. Of course, traditional manual work will be undervalued. However, many of the most famous artists in the art world already use art fabrication services, which assistants can work on in the studio or produce when they order the work they want. AI will be the first to replace assistance and art fabrication companies. We could all be Cho Young-nam.

Of course, this was all about before the advent of general-purpose AI. After that, we got unique within a few years. No one knows what happened after that.
