Southern California Edison IT workers ‘beyond furious’ over H-1B replacements - Computerworld 2015 -- The incident sparked legislative interest in California, with lawmakers proposing bills to restrict utilities from outsourcing critical infrastructure work and prompting at least 11 U.S. senators to request federal investigations into the use of H-1B visas in such outsourcing deals.

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

More seriously
1) >users will generate their own
some people write fanfic, most just watch/read instead.
2) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebel_Without_a_Crew explains how film maker will film, with whatever they have. AI will enable some people to make what is not financially feasible right now for a single person to do.
'Unique' movie/stories creation will continue.
And like with the rest of things AI can do, the question is more 'who's going to pay for person-made vs "algorithmically optimized AI generated story'.
Same question we have of 'AI generated code' vs 'this code was written by a person'.

If there's infinite star trek episodes, I don't care to watch it. I'd rather spin a fidget spinner instead.

except "AI" doesn't have any original thoughts of its own, everything is going to be originally from a human source
it might be a concept from some rare book they fed it and destroyed after, it might be a concept from thousands of "fan fic" they hoovered up all over the internet by scraping forums illegally
you say you won't watch it except human behavior already demonstrates there are millions of other people who will
it's an unfortunate future but an easily predictable one
all about making cheap content to insert ads, the ads are the point, not the content
like product placement in a $100 million action movie, except soon they will be able to make the movie for $100 instead of $100 million and most won't know the difference
