RIDING THE METRO WITH AIThroughout history, technology has always moved faster than in previous eras. From the telegraph to the telephone, from television to the internet… each leap seemed to shorten the distance between one breakthrough and the next. But with artificial intelligence, the feeling is different—it’s not just speed, it’s vertigo.
Just a year or two ago, the first AI-generated images that caught the public’s attention started to circulate. They were impressive, yes, but still had that imperfect look that gave away they weren’t real. Today, in an absurdly short span of time, we’re seeing results that are almost indistinguishable from reality. And we’re not just talking about still images: video, animation, and the recreation of human movement have reached a level that, not long ago, felt like pure science fiction.
The pace of evolution is so accelerated that either time is flying by, or we’re witnessing one of the fastest, most transformative technological developments in recent history. And the most unsettling—or fascinating, depending on your view—is that this is only the beginning.
