                A.I. Is Coming for Culture
                Weβre used to algorithms guiding our choices. When machines can effortlessly generate the content we consume, though, whatβs left for the human imagination?
            
        
    
    
            If A.I. continues to speed or automate creative work, the total volume of cultural βstuffββpodcasts, videos, books, songs, articles, films, shows, plays, online personae, and so onβwill increase. Will human-created content be able to cut through the noise?
