The Impact of AI on the Hollywood Business Model

The podcast episode explores the disruptions that AI is causing to the Hollywood business model, particularly in relation to streaming. The strikes happening in Hollywood have merged issues around streaming changes with the rise of AI-generated content. The traditional revenue streams for movies and TV shows have been consolidated into streaming, which has changed the economics of the industry. Netflix's brand promise of always having something to watch highlights the shift towards a more flat-fee business model. Streaming content created by AI could potentially replace the need for human screenwriters, directors, and actors, leading to a shift in the power dynamics within the industry. The potential dystopian scenario is one where AI creates entertainment that maximizes neurochemical responses without any higher aspirations or genuine creativity. The best-case futuristic scenario could involve AI complementing human creativity, allowing individuals to create movies independently and cater to specific niche audiences, creating a diverse range of content.
