The Future of AI Media Will Be Too Good to Enjoy

Right now, AI media tools still suck. Clunky. Repetitive. Easy to spot.

But that won’t last. In a few years, you won’t be able to tell what’s human-made and what’s AI-generated.

Platforms already try to keep up—adding “AI-generated” labels, rolling out verification. But that’s not the real shift.

The real change comes when AI agents can pump out hyper-personalized content at scale. Perfectly tuned to your tastes, values, moods.

It’ll hit every note. And that’s the problem.

Not because it’s bad—because it’s too good.

When media always gives you exactly what you want, the dopamine fades. Social stops being fun. Not from overload, but from predictability.

People won’t quit entirely. But they’ll want breaks.

That’s where tools like dumbphones or e-ink screens come in. Not as regressions. As sanity tools. A way to make imperfection a feature again.

AI won’t just flood the internet with content. It’ll drain the thrill out of it.

The future of media won’t be scarcity. It’ll be restraint.
