Don't we already, though? I mean, how many of the hundreds to thousands of mediocre movies that hit Netflix, Hulu & co every year do you watch? If they were AI-generated, would it actually matter to you?

As far as I can tell, there's just two interesting things to watch out for:

- Personalized AI-generated content. What if the movie were just for you? What if it expired like a Snapchat, never to be seen again by anyone else? Would this tickle us? Would we succumb to new filter bubbles, increasing the distance between us?

- Can AI make the movie that's so good that it sticks out and does become the one we watch collectively?

Ideally, AI art would be tagged on any large platform and AI artists would be forced to compete in a race to the bottom against all their fellow prompters.

I wish this would happen. But, looking at the current world where publication and distribution are dirt cheap and simpler than ever with the internet, most people's media curation is "What's free" as opposed to "What's good." If the new torrent from the firehouse is AI-generated content, careful curation will lose more. The time and money cost become harder to justify.
