I deleted a section of the last reply (I seem to keep doing that) because it was a bit of a "toke of the bong" sort of take. Yes, you can imagine a situation where it's just "AI all the way down," that is, you recreate a community of artists which are only AI and no human draws anymore. The thing is I feel like that situation, the AI looks a lot less like the NNs which are just matrices today and it looks a lot more like actual AI which is closer to what someone could imagine are people. That is what I can imagine in the future, which is a community of artists still, just not of humans.

Regarding an "all knowing" NN sort of black box that literally models the whole social process itself, I don't think is possible due to chaos, that is, sensitivity to initial conditions, like the weather. Large social systems are probably as sensitivity to initial conditions too and cannot be a priori modelled completely. That's kind of what I'll still stake as impossible in my opinion.
