It just hit me: AI makes heavy specialization mostly irrelevant.
I don’t need years and years of making 3D models to build something sound in 3D now. I need 3D understanding and the rest will be taken care of. I can just type and go at it.
Same with everything ChatGPT can help with, which seems currently limitless.
So you want to be good at understanding a vast array of things rather than being hyper knowledgeable about one thing.
Holistic ways are always better anyway, so that’s good. But man, that’s a lot of experts out there who are (or will be soon) seething right now.
Yes, the digital world has always been democratizing things more and more. Sound engineers don’t really exist as a profession because software does the engineering now.
But the acceleration of democratization that ChatGPT unlocks, is batshit insane.
