AI + VR

Submitted by CogGear t3_10k7sap in singularity

I can’t be the only one who’s stretched their imagination on the joining of these two. With how swiftly AI is coming along now, and with the increase in the quality of VR hardware that is only going to continue… it’s not hard to imagine a future where the majority of people just want to plug in to their perfect worlds and turn their backs on their boring realities. With AI, you could be fed an infinite stream of content that is perfectly suited to your tastes, and knows just when to change things up before you get bored.

I know AI has many other uses that will change the world, but what y’all think will happen with this? To be honest, I find it quite scary how easily it could change the world and the way people live.

I'm an author and I am eager to combine AI, VR, and storytelling/worldbuilding. I think it would be amazing to feed prompts and prose to an AI and have it create a VR room for my readers to explore.

I think AI and VR combined, and guided by a human artist, open up fascinating new possibilities for how we experience and interact with all the arts.

But is it your room if the AI made it? I can see it’s uses, but AI art has no soul.

Edit; AI is a tool, tools can be great, but when your tool does all the work for you then you become the tool.

I heard the same thing about digital art

That's why I'm talking about working in collaboration between a human artist an AI. I might check out a VR room that was entirely created by AI, with no human input, out of curiosity, but I'd be more inclined to really explore and get excited about a room that was created by one of my favorite writers, whose work I already know speaks to me and has soul.

I agree with you that AI-generated visuals and text will never have the soul that human-generated art has. But that doesn't mean that human artists can't use AI as a tool to achieve entirely new forms of art.

I don’t think it can create new art though. It can only make what it’s trained on. That’s why all the current stuff has the same feeling. It’s a gimmick imo. Using AI to help you get ideas is as far as I would go. Nothing the computer makes should be displayed as “your’ work, but each person has their own interpretation.

Edit; you can reverse the process and be left all of the images it copies.

Have you tried Midjourney? You can create basically any kind of digital art. 3D, 2d, oil, pencil, photograph, etc. And it’s only going to get better

What makes you think a human creating art is anything other than that person mixing up all the art they've previously consumed (been trained on) and spitting out based on a random seed of inspiration?

At the end of the day, you couldn’t pull apart the final image based on a mathematical algorithm, and be left with all of the parts it used.

You don’t understand what your replying too. You use the tools to make games…the tool doesn’t make the game all by itself.

If a human isn’t involved in the creative process it isn’t using a tool.

You realize a human made those buildings. I now know how little you know by how simple and dumb your argument is. You are just a Kid, who all his teachers tell him how special they is, and a coward.

I want a set that would emulate living in an accurate (enough) any historical period and place.

Oh it’s 100% going to happen when VR gets good enough. Especially if the wealth gap continues to grow. When you’re poor, you can’t travel the world and do other adventurous things (for the most part). Once VR gets good enough and cheap enough, I’m sure most people will plug in to have those VR adventures/entertainment.

I think AI will come up with VR hardware/software breakthroughs.

This and pills made by AI that solve practically all major issues. Brain implants that let you remember everything and speak in many languages. Also digital telepathy. No need to type or speak even.

I can't wait to have an ai perfectly recreate attack on titan in vr, so i can massacre some titans >:)

You certainly aren't! I've been thinking about this lately (it's all I think about these days... such dull imagination of mine) but I have fears about viability. I think it's an arms race between Neuralink, DARPA, and Valve to see who makes a working BCI first.
