My 18yo daughter, not tech illiterate but not particularly interested in programming, has mentioned to me that she found AI-generated artwork really interesting for about a month, but it quickly became boring. I wonder if it comes from a "wow what kind of creative person could come up with something that unusual?" initial response, which quickly gives way to boredom as one realizes that there is no creative person behind there?

Also, I wonder if the period before "emerging" technologies stop seeming interesting (e.g. like another person) is speeding up over time, like so much else?



I suspect it’s more because most AI-generated artwork looks same-ish after a while. At least that’s my own perception.


When do other people stop being interesting?

For example in lines of work where individuals meet large numbers of the public over extended periods of time, how long does it take before the average interaction is 'meh'?
