I think music will be the first of these milestones, and before long AI will be writing enjoyable compositions and pop chart hits.

Next AI will write passable stories, and then decent ones, and then marketable novels with a coherent plot.

AI assist tools will be able to help animators create scenes, backgrounds, and characters using just keywords descriptions. Then with the ability to write scripts will come the ability to create movies. It will take some editing to filter out the nonsense but we'll probably have AI film productions within 30 years.

That's my guess, purely based on what's been demonstrated so far.

I actually think AI will never really make great "pop chart hits", for the mundane economic reason that once we figure out how to make good music with AI, it will be possible to absolutely flood the market with that genre of music, making it impossible for any potentially great hits to stand out.

That said, I absolutely believe that AI-generated music can soon and will easily easily replace any sort of background or generic license-free music uses, where they simply need to be "good enough" rather than great.
