I think this is a very close-minded view. "old school television" is also a very new invention, we went most of history without all watching the same thing.

People will still share the things they find interesting with the people they care about.

> we went most of history without all watching the same thing.

Kinda true? Before movies, there was the shared experiences of books, magazines, plays, etc.

Before movies you also had a family based agrarian society lol. Talking about AI like it's some return to the pasture, despite its potential to further alienate us, is silly.

I don't understand what you're getting at. There were absolutely cities and industry before movies existed.

It’s the next Tower of Babel

That shared culture is already gone. We are a land populated by cultures in the strict sense intermingling, and moreso subcultures.
