It's possible that AI will be the true downfall of our culture and that same critical thinking this video is talking about. Right now it might not seem that way yet, but if we extrapolate a little, the overall picture is quite terrifying.
For example, I do like to read some books from time to time. Now, what is the probability that any book released after 2024 will be at least partly generated by an AI? I guess it's pretty high. So, my interest in reading anything released after 2024 is pretty low. As a conclusion any literature after 2024 basically goes out of the window. The same goes for music. Even if some piece is being performed live, what is the probability that those people actually did write it by themselves? Yep, I think it's pretty low. So, any new music automatically becomes background sound at best.
In other words: art and culture is pretty much dead. Real creativity as well. Currently it all still somehow goes on using some leftover fumes from ages past, but for how long would that be is anyone's guess. What we are left with is an AI generated slop everywhere regurgitating the same music, words, thoughts etc over and over again in different various combinations and the longer it goes on the emptier it all becomes until finally nothing will mean anything and no one will pay attention to nothing.
