I like this analogy a lot.
It reminds me that coin-op SF2 champion edition was like $6000 new, and you rented time with tokens. Eventually you could play a very good but more limited SNES version of SF2 at home for no tokens. And then PC hardware matured to the point where you can play the exact bits via emulator at better than original fidelity.
It will be very nice when AI gets to the emulator stage.

I'm already nostalgic for very early Dall-e LSD-like art. Ref: "Sleeping Horses - Nov 2021."
Those early GAN image generators were so weird that they produced art that felt genuinely creative. I don't know that whatever people are using to create modern Tung-Tung-Tung-Sahur instagram reel slop is even capable of producing similar things.
Do you think we'll be longing for the nostalgia hit of LLM models from 2025 in 2050?
Maybe we will collectively miss being completely right and inappropriate em—dashes.
