There's a very vivid analogy—KITE Network is like the modern Medici family. But the key difference is that this time, the "sponsorship" isn't controlled by a centralized decision-maker; instead, resources are automatically allocated by the global market.
Imagine, ten years ago, what would it take to produce a commercial-grade CG movie? Spending hundreds of millions to buy top-tier rendering farms, hiring Hollywood-level special effects teams. Now? An independent creator can use the KITE Network to access comparable computing power at a fraction of the cost. This isn't some black technology; it's about freeing those "god-like" tools from the hands of a few.
The logic of creation is also changing. In the past, artists started from a blank page, relying solely on their brains and hands. Now, it's different. You can start with a pre-trained foundational model for inspiration, then train a personalized AI assistant using your portfolio—this AI learns all your stylistic habits. Going further, you can even combine multiple specialized models: one for composition, another for coloring, and another for music generation. It's like conducting an orchestra, with each module playing its part.
What is the result of this? Creation is no longer just manual labor but a collaborative effort between humans and machines. Your ideas become commands, and AI becomes your other set of hands. Efficiency doubles, while costs significantly decrease. The barrier to creativity drops from "requiring large capital and big teams" to "having ideas and knowing how to use tools."
This is true democratization—not just a slogan, but something practically achievable.

Democratization sounds good, but who will ensure that the distribution of computing power is truly fair?

Well said, the threshold is really much lower now.

The Medici family analogy is excellent, but can the decentralized resource allocation system really be implemented?
The democratization of computing power sounds great, but I'm still worried about the Matthew effect occurring.
I believe in the collaboration between humans and AI, but is the creative threshold really lowered that much?
Honestly, it still depends on who defines "democratization."
Where does the data for doubling efficiency come from? Are there any cases?
The logic sounds beautiful, but I'm just worried it might be old wine in a new bottle.
However, the fact that independent creators can access affordable computing power truly changes the game.

The Medici family story sounds quite romantic, but is it really possible to distribute power equally?
---
Basically, it's about breaking up monopolies, and I agree with that.
---
Ten years ago, hundreds of millions were invested; now a few GPUs can do the job? That sounds unbelievable.
---
The collaboration between humans and machines is real, but the prerequisite is having good tools.
---
They talk about democratization quite smoothly, but the key question is who can get on board?
---
The barriers from zero to existence have indeed lowered, but new bottlenecks have appeared.
---
Does this logic hold? Costs have decreased, but does that necessarily mean the quality of creativity will improve?

Well said, finally someone has explained this clearly
AI is truly leveling the playing field for creators. The old rule that "burning money is the only way to produce good works" definitely needs to change
But I'm more concerned about when this wave of democratization will truly reach ordinary people
