AI may make creativity abundant but attention scarce, Dr_Singularity argues

DrSingularity argues that creativity remains the bottleneck even as AI tools become widely available.
- After major model launches, most demos still recycle the same game/app ideas: Minecraft clones, shooters, GTA-style worlds, racing games, and simulations.
- The post says a billion people may now be able to build an X- or Reddit-level app in a day, yet no truly new global hit has emerged from that abundance.
- In the entertainment industry, the winners will be the rare people with genuinely new ideas; everyone else will flood the web with AI slop.
- Even if AI becomes a “supercreative slot machine,” attention will remain scarce, so individual success may get harder, not easier.
