Guys, put your eyes up and contemplate the world on the verge of extinction. Over 90% of what you see at the moment will be replaced by AI-generated content. This is the end of an era. “Hand-made” graphic design will now be seen as a vintage fashion. Welcome to the time of the undecidable. Reality vs computer scam!

So I really invite you to have a good sense at is around; printed images, books, book covers, tv shows, music (omg! music) and any piece of visual imagery and try to picture this moment. I can guarantee that 2 years from now, there will be an immense shift in media production that everything around us will look old. The time of the AI has come.

So, it’s really this article made by chatGPT? well, I bet you to guess. But with the level of “intelligence” ( or the lack of skills from our side), it is hard to be sure. Could you tell from grammar mistakes? or I told chatGPT to write it as if written by Salma Hayek as in Dawn to Dusk.

Take it this way, I didn’t mean to panic, it’s just what it is. And is true. It’s already determined. It’s so effective, so believable, so easy and so accessible, that is inevitable. It is the only way forward and it will take over it. But in the same way that other technology has done before. There were times without computers, can you remember? There were times without smartphones. There were times without electricity.

Yes, it is uncertain, but it will eventually be digested by society and will be accepted as a normal thing. It will be normalised and then it will be a matter of every day. We will move into a time when identifying if a printed image is real or not will be insignificant. I mean, after watching ‘The Witness’ episode of ‘Love Death + Robots’, who cares. We have moved beyond reality, to ‘perception of reality’. Everyone cares more about what things mean to them rather than what things are.

This phenomenon is not new. It has been cooking for a while. VR lenses were the last warning. Worth to remind that this is like the 4th time that virtual reality comes fashionable. Virtual Mario, remember that game; that was the future, and was not. lol

… Everyone here, listen to me. I meant everything will change. Documentaries, movies, museums of contemporary art, social media, work emails, porn, Medium, cooking recipes, newspapers, all.

Let’s see what happens. It might be not so bad. As humans, we have become very good at spotting what is human-made. Nobody will be fooled by a game of ‘Fifa 98’ as a real football game. But back then, who will tell the difference? This is when I tell you we will get the ability to recognize things then. but now let’s live the fantasy, the mystery and the illusion. It’s like when we believed in Santa.

So, believe that this blog entry was written by me, a human being, in an honest and FREE hand. Enjoy the change and be part of this movement, embrace it while it is in times of growing trend. Use it to liberate your mind and explore new ways of communicating your ideas. Let’s play with it and see you at the next technology wave.
