How A.I. Is Making the Metaverse a Reality, Faster.

TL;DR

• Roblox just released an A.I. engine that creates/alters 3D assets for you, based off the text prompts you give it. This will cure many of the metaverse's growing pains…

• Most of the common areas/profit centers of the current internet (Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, Snapchat, Facebook) are built off the back of user-generated content.

• But how do you create a similar volume of user-generated content (enough to engage billions of people, day-in day-out) when everything is in 3D?

• With generative A.I. tools like these!

Full Story

Imagine this:

You're designing a new landscape within the metaverse.

You say "I want a vine covered Spanish villa, with a cyber punk-style car sticking out of its roof, like its just crashed there."

Then...bleep, bloop, bleep...an A.I. engine codes it together for you.

Here's the crazy part:

You don't have to imagine it, because (as of last week) an early version of this tooling now exists within Roblox.

If you don't know what Roblox is, it's pretty much a privatized version of the metaverse. A 3D game-world, where users can build their own experiences and charge others to play them.

(If you want to learn more, ask your little cousin).

Here's how A.I. tooling like this, will cure many of the metaverse's growing pains:

The metaverse is essentially just a 3D rendered version of the internet.

But most of the common areas/profit centers of the current internet (Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, Snapchat, Facebook) are built off the back of user-generated content.

Which is fine when almost 100% of that content is made up of some combination of text/image/video.

(We all have smart phones that allow us to create across all of those mediums, in an instant).

But how do you create a similar volume of user-generated content (enough to engage billions of people, day-in day-out) when everything is in 3D?

What, do you just cross your fingers and hope that the next generation of internet users are also really good at coding?

That ain't going to cut it!

With generative A.I. tools like these, the metaverse is going to start scaling, way faster.
