The word for poet in German is "Dichter" which comes from "dicht" meaning dense. A Dichter is somebody who makes something denser. I think AI might be bad at that kind of thing. Like spitting out two sentences that you can contemplate on for hours, and that transports all kinds of aspects of humaneness. This kind of thing is also what comedians do. There is often a lot to unpack in jokes, something that makes you think twice and that second or third level is what makes it funny. And even if AI will be able to do that, we still have to be able to understand it.

But of course, comedians tell their jokes to friends, and they would filter out the bad ones. You could train an AI on the reaction of a live audience, maybe it's going to be the funniest shit ever, who knows.

The future will be completely overloaded with colorful and magical things that tingle our brains in all kinds of different ways. Art and entertainment will be so abundant, people won't be able to tell what they are listening to or what they are watching. Selling music or pictures is not going to cut it, you will have to sell yourself.
