It will be a very boring over-saturated world, where everything is possible and everything is superficial.
I can't bear hearing the overused "sling" from a sword getting move one cm, or the "click" of a gun pointed in one direction.
I hate the blue + yellow + actor face template for half movie posters.
I get bored when I saw in the 80' the same "boy saves girl" cliche, then in 2000, "you are secretly the one, your destiny is saving the world", then now, "look they are all from a minority, how subversive!"
AI is just going to industrialized copy/pasting in a industry that have created the concept way before we had GUI.
The tools in the hands of ordinary people has proven to result in an infinite firehose of ordinary expression. Those ordinary people are reduced to copy-machines that reproduce what algorithms amplify.
Only half joking. Arguably, the point of media is connection to the collective consciousness. But, something to be said about exploring the personal imagination.
Human creativity is still fine and kicking, it’s just that the curator/gatekeeper were removed, so parents are left on their own to select shows for their kids. Which sucks if your parents can’t be bothered.
People who grew up and want more out of culture will do what they always have done, which is look for alternative media.
Thankfully, there are still youtube channels with shows and cartoons we grew up with, so parents can show those to their kids instead of today's trash.
Wonder Pets seemed relaxing and amusing to me; there was a song “you have to la-la-la-la-love yourself”. Paw Patrol seemed high dopamine action; with pets either hustling hard to do what a human told them to do, or providing comic relief.
(It's a joke.)
The "superficiality" is perfectly unrelated.
I'm not in animation but I assume there's still plenty of that content being made, it's just in its own subculture somewhere
