Two Turning Points in Generative AI
cocktailpeanut · x · 2026-07-14
The author summarizes two "industry-defining moments" in generative AI:
- Stable Diffusion shifted AI from a closed ecosystem to an open one, significantly altering the landscape.
- SeeDance2 transformed AI from a "tool for delivering messages" into "the medium itself," meaning generated content is no longer just an auxiliary feature but is becoming a new vehicle for expression.
The author concludes that Stable Diffusion completely rewrote the openness and distribution methods of generative AI, and this kind of impact has happened more than once.
