> Unlimited 24/7 AI TV shows and movies (RIP Netflix, Hollywood).
I never thought of that, but it's entirely possible and sounds pretty scary. Assuming that this works and then add 2 human generations to it, which would perceive our movies like we do the black and white ones.
While a "classic movie" would then mean a human-made movie, it's scary to think that the new stream of media entertainment would be unlimited. Like you'd have to decide when to stop binge-watching, because the show would always go on.

I would argue that this is already the case. I'd hazard a guess that almost any concept one is interested in, that can be synthesized in a few words (e.g. "deep-ocean human habitats", or "ethics and techniques for this niche psychological framework"), has an infinite rabbithole available online: usually, starting from Wikipedia, there are countless pages and videos about and around the topic.
So the ability to stop binging, i.e. sufficient self-awareness, is already a pretty useful skill, and it will be increasingly necessary.
Yes, I fully agree. I was hesitating while pressing the submit button, but there was this thought of a never ending show in my head which felt uncanny.
It could evolve to a point where the my version of Breaking Bad would be a completely parallel universe to the one you would be offered. Suddenly one variant could become more interesting and so popular that it would become the official version. There's a lot that can be thought and discussed about such a capability.
But in essence you're right, unlimited binge-watching is already a reality.
