EA execs say generative AI is "not merely a buzzword for us, it's the very core of our business," then pretend to tell a computer to generate buildings live on stage (www.gamesradar.com)

When the technology gets there, this will be amazing. I'll be able to sit down at the computer and say "make me a mystery detective RPG in the style of Sherlock Holmes but set on a cyberpunk styled city on a space station like the Citadel from Mass Effect" and I'll get just that, generated exclusively for me with a brand new story that fits the themes I asked for.

But that is gonna be a couple decades or more I expect. I dearly hope it happens quickly so I can live to see it, but it's not going to be in the next ten years, that's for damn sure.

I honestly disagree. The things you're asking for contain meaning. They require an ability to grasp arbitrary levels of context. There is no way to grasp that level of context without encountering yourself within that broader context and becoming self-aware.

At that point, you might have a system that can do the things you're describing, but it would be a person. That's not really automation as much as it is birthing a brand new kind of intelligence, and it may not consent to being your servant, and it would not only be wrong to try to force it, it would be extremely dangerous.

I think for that reason there is a hard limit on automation. Some tasks are the exclusive domain of personhood, not automata.
