I don’t think humans are going to be consuming most content directly from the source within a few years.

Instead, I think our Digital Assistants (our personal AIs) will be creating individual summaries of the content for us, which I’m calling Dynamic Content Summaries (DCSs).

So instead of you having to read and listen to and watch thousands of hours of content per day—which is impossible—your AI will be creating these summaries for you for the most important stuff.

Scenario: Book Too Long, Please Summarize

So imagine you’ve been told that some book is just fantastic, and you know it has some nuggets in it, but you don’t want to spend the 17 hours reading it.

Your Digital Assistant can just create you a 3-minute video of all the best parts.

It’s a 3-minute video instead of 17-hour book

It’s a perfect deepfake of the author giving that summary

The summary compresses it very well, so it kept the most important parts

So now you know the high points.

But even better, you can just tell it:

Cool, I liked that. Give me a 20 minute audio version starting on my drive home tonight.

You talking to your DA named Armin

So now you have a podcast version, also in the author’s voice, but it’s 20 minutes long instead of 3.

Any format, length, and avatar

The power of this will be the complete flexibility in the content you’ll get.

And your DA (or a service your DA has hired) will be working on these constantly for you.

Text summaries

Audio summaries

Video summaries

Of any length

Performed by any personality

Summary

My prediction is that much of the content we consume will actually be DCS’s instead of the original format.

Our DAs will know exactly how much time we have and what would work best for us, because they can see our schedule and they know our preferences.

We’ll be consuming far more content in far less time.

And of course our DA will still sometimes recommend that we do the raw version for certain content.
