My guess for the near term--after AI can generate convincing media--is no. There isn't an absolute answer to questions like this. Likely, man-made media will become a niche good. People will still make media for those who value consuming media made by other humans. My basis for this belief is that there are many communities full of enthusiasts who still use out-of-date technologies when more advanced options are still available:

People still use rotary phones for fun, even though we have smartphones. People still play games on the Super Nintendo, even though we can emulate all those games on phones/computers/handhelds. Movies are still made on film, reenactors follow old lifestyles to roleplay...and so on.

Mass media might become obsolete, but in the near term, it won't become extinct.

When the necessities of life are taken care of, some artists will continue making things by hand, because its fun and interesting.

What does fifteen minutes of fame mean? I’m literally so confused and how will mass media end? Anyone can write a book as good as top authors yet people still follow and buy from famous authors……anyone can make a YouTube video yet people follow and subscribe to famous ppl…..so NO

It means everyone has a chance of being famous and that time frame is really arbitrary, doesn’t necessarily mean it’s 15 minutes. The challenge is to keep being famous and staying relevant.

So what does fame have to do with singularity?

Just responding to the question. I thought you were asking what Warhol meant by it. Nothing to do with singularity as far as I know. Don’t even know the meaning of it as it pertains to this subreddit, I just happen to join because I thought it was interesting with all of the talk on ai.

I think mass media will become even more globalized, with cultures combining in more tangible ways via VR, etc. Plus translation will be perfected and instantaneous, so we'll have no real language barriers. I think that being "famous" in the future might hold even more power than it does now.
