What I am curious to learn is how many episodes of a TV series made by real actors it will take for an "AI" to eventually make perfect extensions

ie. feed it every episode of the original Star Trek series, at some point "AI" is going to be advanced enough to write a new episode and simulate all the characters perfectly

anime and animation in theory will be even easier to do perfectly?

the question is can it do it perfectly with just a dozen episodes? or does three dozen make it better?

because once that happens, that's all the networks will pay for, after all they are only about the commercials they can insert into content regardless of source

and yes viewers will eventually accept it the same way they won't quit X or meta, etc. regardless of how horrible they become or the sub-human behavior of the owners
