    Art’s value is determined by two measurable factors: prettiness at a glance, and ungarbled signage, artist motivations be damned. With this in mind we can predict other advancements in entertainment (all art is entertainment!)

    For example, future pro boxing matches will be performed by rock’em sock’em robots in skin suits. They can score more points than humans. Soccer will be performed by restaurant server robots…in skin suits. Humans will still have a place in Olympic skiing and swimming so long as human pleather warps in water.

      As predicted by several science fiction movies iirc. (I’m ignoring the skin suits because oof mental image).
