According to Jim Keller, a renowned chip developer and CEO of Tenstorrent, the future will be dominated by artificial intelligence, with AI potentially replacing all current media formats and software applications. In an interview with Linus Tech Tips, Keller predicts that within a decade, AI will be able to emulate any software simply by being told what to do.
Keller provides an example from the gaming industry, stating that users could describe a game like Super Mario Bros. to an AI, show it a short video from the 1980s, and the AI would then emulate the game with satisfactory results. He also foresees significant changes in the film industry, with AI generating immersive, interactive experiences in real-time, while traditional films take a back seat.
Keller believes that there will still be a place for human-created content, such as books and films, comparing it to the coexistence of machine-made and handcrafted clothing. People appreciate things made by other people, even in an AI-dominated future.
As AI continues to advance, it has the potential to revolutionize various industries, from gaming and entertainment to software development. While some may view this as a threat to human creativity and jobs, others see it as an opportunity for AI to handle repetitive tasks, freeing up humans to focus on more creative and innovative endeavors. The key will be finding a balance between the efficiency and capabilities of AI and the unique qualities that human creators bring to the table.
