Meet Me in the Metaverse | Andreessen Horowitz

We have only reached the first two of content creation in which single person and small multiplayer experiences are the norm.

In this format, socializing remains focused on engaging in specific activities - e.g. completing tasks in a game.

The volume of professionally-created content is limited because it is expensive to produce. Thus, user-generated content offers a promising new avenue forward, but content quality is an issue.

Instead, using AI as a co-creator will allow for greater volumes of content, as lay people will be equipped with the tools to create quality content. With recent and continued developments to AI, building the Metaverse seems imminent.

Socializing will shift away from task/plan specific entertainment toward spontaneous shared activities.

AI-powered characters will be virtually indistinguishable from actual individuals, and social interactions will more closely resemble those in the real world.
