Imagine having access to an AI system like the "What-If Machine" from Futurama that could instantly generate any type of media content. What would you create with such power at your fingertips?

Personally, I'd be tempted to remake the Star Wars sequel trilogy. With AI, we could explore some of the unused ideas from George Lucas' original vision, like Darth Maul returning as a crime lord or Luke rebuilding the Jedi Order.

What about you? Would you recreate existing franchises, generate entirely new content, or use it for more practical applications? Share your ideas below!

Some potential uses to consider:

  • Reimagining your favorite books as TV series or movies
  • Creating personalized music in any genre
  • Generating realistic virtual worlds for gaming or VR experiences
  • Producing educational content on complex topics

That's a tough one. While I do think AI can be fun to play around with (though I personally prefer the ones I can run locally), there's always a sort of "monkey's paw" element to it. Text generation? Hallucinations. Image generation? All sorts of weird artifacts, and are heavily influenced by the training data (yes of course they all are, but what I mean is, if you pick a model that is heavily inspired by NSFW content for example, then you're very likely to get NSFW content - sounds "common sense", but nonetheless).

So I suppose in a world where it's "perfect" then I'd want it to make some form of media that can make everyone happy. If everyone on the planet were happy, then it'd be a much better place.

Or if we're talking less altruistic desires, probably a continuation of some TV series that I enjoyed which ended on a cliffhanger.
