Ok, I know this sounds crazy, but hear me out.
If you spend anytime at all at r/midjourney, you know where this is going. Right now, it's photos, but videos are coming very soon. The improvement in this sort of AI will be exponential. 15 years is a LONG time in the world of AI. It's more like 40 years in the “real” world, if not more. I think 15 years from now, you'll be able to tell an AI this:
“I'd like to watch a movie very similar to the first Star Wars, but make it a bit less cheesy, more realistic, and set it with an all-Asian cast.”
5 seconds later, you'll be able to watch a feature length version of said movie, with perfect editing, cinematography, sound, picture quality, voice acting, etc, etc…
Or you tell an A.I. this:
“Create a TV Show very similar to Three's Company, but use my face, body and voice as the character Jack Tripper for the entire series. Make the whole thing take place on Mars.”
AI is going to be able to do this EFFORTLESSLY. Probably in less than 10 years. I'm being extremely generous by giving a 15 year time line. You'll be able to deliver to yourself any content you can possibly imagine when it comes to a motion picture, television show, music video…. you name it.
Why would anybody care about Comcast in this future world? Why would anybody care about any television or movie provider?
Now, I will admit that there will be people that want to see movies with Brad Pitt and Scarlett Johansen or whoever the poplar actors are, because of the celebrity factor, and they know these people in real life, but when you can have a movie perfectly tailored to every whim you might have? You can cast yourself as the hero or villian of any movie or TV show? This is going to be bonkers.
