As AI and entertainment collide, there are huge opportunities, particularly for creators who are becoming fluent in AI tools, and for those who can distinguish themselves by having a high bar for taste.
That was one of the key takeaways from @andrewchen's conversation with @scottbelsky (partner at @A24) at #NYTechWeek, presented by @speedrun and @Adobe Ventures.
Scott called this concept “knowledge arbitrage.” Just as those who became fluent in social media had an early advantage in online content, creators who are using ChatGPT and other AI tools in their daily lives – for job interview prep, issues with friends, and other day-to-day tasks – are getting ahead.
“It's so native to them that they'll come into companies that we work at and teach us," Scott said.
And as compute comes in, taking away the advantage that technical skills once offered, taste will be what sets creators apart, he added.
At a time when you can build a website in an hour, or even in one minute, “the question is the taste of what you're building, and how you position it,” he said.
Scott is also bullish on the role of personalization, as companies increasingly use genAI.
In video games, for example, there may be a future where the land one player explores is entirely different from that of another player, Andrew and Scott said.
Personalization will help companies get ahead.
“The company that knows me best will win,” Scott said.
