I’ve been thinking a lot about AI-generated content and AI as content. Are they the same thing, or are they different beasts altogether? On one hand, we have AI-created apps and games – these are essentially products made using AI tools. On the other hand, we have AI-generated content like those viral TikTok videos made by AI.
So, what’s the difference between these two? Is one more creative than the other? I think it’s interesting to consider how AI-generated content can be seen as a final product, whereas AI as content is more about the process.
For instance, an AI-made app is a tangible thing that you can use, whereas an AI-generated video is more about the experience of watching it. But what about when AI is used to create other forms of content, like music or art? Is that still AI as content, or is it something else entirely?
I’d love to hear your thoughts on this. Do you think there’s a clear distinction between AI-generated content and AI as content, or are they just different sides of the same coin?
