How generative AI will create never-ending stories

Welcome to the Cryptohunt Jam, where you learn – in just a minute or two a day – what is happening in crypto and other game-changing ideas. As always: In plain English.

Today, we’ll touch on another area that generative AI will change entirely: How we experience stories in books, video games, and even TV shows. But before we dive in: If you are new here, make sure to start a few episodes back in 363 where this mini-series begins.

You’ve done it hundreds of times: Start a book, read it all the way through, and finally close it after the last page. Or you’ve played a video game and eventually reached every possible corner of its world.

That’s because stories eventually end. They are written by humans, and those humans move on to the next thing. Even Game of Thrones eventually ended.

With AI, things are entirely different. By its very definition, “generative” AI can generate content instantly, taking into account the context you provide.

So how could this look like? Let’s say you love the Sherlock Holmes books - if AI were to write them, you could get a new one basically whenever you wanted. Or you play a game, and AI creates the world and storyline automatically - meaning you could play forever. Even for TV this is possible: Really like Breaking Bad and never want it to end? Well, AI is here to help.

And while some - us included - prefer change and don’t think things ending is a bad thing, we bet many folks out there will love this new world… So much so, that you’ll begrudgingly have to be part of it. What do you think about all this?
