We see this now with people recreating visual effects from the 80s. In the 80s they were much more limited by the technology available. But in hindsight those shitty techniques have become nostalgic and created their own unique aesthetic, which people intentionally imitate now. In the future we’ll easily be able to make very realistic images and video in ai, but this period in time will be burned into a lot of peoples’ memories and they will intentionally recreate “shitty old-fashioned ai”. I wonder if the “old ai models” will still be easily available in the future once there are much better one’s available.
