Watched it a while ago. Made me seriously think about AI and what we should use it for. I feel like all the entertainment use cases (image and video gen) are a complete waste.

Why are images and video a complete waste? This makes no sense to me.

Right now the generators aren’t effective but they are definitely stepping stones to something better in the future.

If that future thing produces video, movies and pictures better than anything humanity can produce at a rate faster than we can produce things… how is that a waste?

It can arguably be bad for society but definitely not a waste.

Let me phrase it a bit differently, then: AI generated cats in Ghibli style are a waste, we should definitely do less of that. I did not hold that opinion before the documentary

Education-style infographics and videos are OK.

Our family derives a lot of joy from stylized versions of our photos. For us, it is not a waste. If you do not derive anything positive from it, you will likely not use it, hence no energy wasted either. Your argument is objectively wrong.
