That is a ridiculous take. Look at the absolute SEA of bottom-barrel content flooding every single streaming platform. For people at the top of the studio system, they are already living out their AI power trips, just in the meatspace.

The entire industry is already turning out terrible shit, but doing it by wasting hundreds of thousands of actors, production teams, and studio dollars in order to churn out that nonsense.

Meanwhile, there are millions of latent storytellers, who, for whatever reason (but primarily: not born into extreme wealth and nepotistic connections) could never express their ideas in motion/cinema at such ambitious scales.

By putting this power in the hands of actually talented writers and storytellers, you create a completely new market of potentially incredible works of art.

Sure. But you have to admit that you also create a new market of low effort garbage art. The question is which is bigger, and where the money will ultimately go.
