I remember hearing from someone a few years ago that entertainment-related industries will likely be the most beneficiated from advancements in AI.
With AI replacing most types of work, people will have more free time to consume entertainment. At the same time, the entertainment industry will be one of the least affected by AI since there is a lot of work involving creativity that will still need to be done by humans.
I'm curious if this prediction will come through. With AI replacing workers, there could be less people with money to spend on entertainment. Also, as you mentioned in your article, there are examples of AI doing creative work.
I wanted to share this because I haven't seen this discussed much. Great article!

That is an interesting area to explore.

I haven't given that any thought yet, but I would imagine there is some validity to the idea.

The only thing that comes to mind is that we are already at "entertainment overload" with the vast array of (mostly rubbish) content available today.

So will we be able to tolerate and absorb more entertainment? Or perhaps new forms of entertainment will appear?

Also with some of the stuff I have seen on the horizon for video editing and production, I am not sure even videography is an area that won't feel a slight pinch from an increase in productivity that AI may afford?

As I said, super interesting point, one I will have to ponder on! 💗
