Not just concerts, but anything that doesn’t benefit well from AI might get relatively more expensive in the future. The thought that sparked this was that given that doing tasks where I can leverage AI usage well can be done better in a shorter time, they’re more rewarding and push me to do more of them and fewer of those that don’t benefit from AI in any meaningful way, since they are now relatively less rewarding.
I’m reminded of a video I saw a while ago that explained that classic concerts have steadily become more expensive bc whilst many things benefitted from advancements in technology, making products cheaper, it didn’t fundamentally change how classical concerts were done. The limitations of concert-hall size didn’t change much (and whatever else bottlenecks classical concerts), which means that they couldn’t get cheaper, which makes them relatively more expensive to most other things. Ofc radio, LPs, CDs, streaming all came along, but they don’t sell the same experience, so they don’t really compete.
If now all tasks that benefit from AI usage can be done quicker at higher quality, those outputs will get cheaper, making anything that doesn’t benefit from it relatively more expensive.
