I mean, you joke, but it honestly seems more and more like that's the position many execs and finance types are trying to take these days. Top management and shareholders deserve to get big bucks; everyone else, especially the people doing 100% of the actual work , are cost centers to be minimized as aggressively and uncompromisingly as possible.

It's not my definition, it's by definition art is: > the conscious use of skill and creative imagination especially in the production of aesthetic objects Conscious use of skill, there's no conscience in AI hence no art.
If we're getting into the definition of art I feel like it's a hard sell that an actual episode of TV, with plot and actors and everything, isn't art because no creative impulse went into it, yet a plain orange canvas is art that's worth $80 million [1] just because a human touched it.

The Witcher wasn't really Netflix's fault though? I thought Cavill was lured by the Amazon deal to do Warhammer. Gotta love a company like Amazon producing shows and selling toilet paper all in one shop.
Isn't that the Japanese model? You can get your motorcycle and your baby grand piano from the same company. It looks like it works pretty well for them so maybe there's something to it.

From an end-user's point of view, though, that's actually really great. I love Star Trek The Next Generation. They're never making any more than those seven glorious seasons. If I could subscribe to a streaming service that offered an infinite number of AI-produce believably-authentic episodes featuring the original characters, and plot that could plausibly have been real episodes, I'd subscribe in a heartbeat.
