I think a more interesting thought is how entertainment boils down to a sequence of 1's and 0's... and if we could somehow get enough of that sequence right, we could unveil video/audio/images of real people doing things they've never done - such as Brad Pitt fighting Godzilla.
Imagine uncovering a movie that was never made but featured actors you know. If Steven Spielberg can make the movie, then there is an undiscovered sequence of 1's and 0's that already is that movie, a sequence that could be discovered without actually making the movie. Imagine "mining for movies"...
Of course that sequence is likely impossible to ever predict enough of to actually discover something real... but it's a fun thought experiment.
