All of your entertainment will be AI-generated. Every movie, TV show, song, and book will be made so quickly and cheaply that there will be an endless stream of content drowning out what little human-made art still exists, and all of it will be as disposable as a tweet or TikTok video; consumed and then promptly forgotten.
Algorithms will show you disposable content catered to your tastes, or you will simply tell an AI what you want and it will make it for you on the spot. There will be no fandoms because no one will have shared experiences. At best, a piece of media will become a meme for a few weeks before vanishing from the noosphere (which will be mentally disabled from not getting enough metaphorical oxygen in the metaphysical womb).
This will happen because the median consumer doesn't care how their entertainment is made or where it comes from. They just want instant gratification, and they want it cheap, and that's what AI will give them. You see resistance to it now, but future generations who are born into a world where this is all normal won't see a problem. They will look at you the same way you look at those who resisted the adoption of the automobile. They will be born into a world without human creativity, and it will be mundane.
You will scream, and they will scroll past you.
Unpopular opinion: AI isn't going to replace Christopher Nolan. Itโs going to replace the army of junior VFX artists doing roto, tracking, and prep work. ๐ฌ
Legacy studios are terrified not because AI can make a whole movie, but because a single director with an AI pipeline can bypass a $5 million VFX department.
The bottleneck is no longer budget; itโs imagination.
