Most movies already reuse a lot color tones, shots, lines, scripts and sound effects. I can't bear hearing the overused "sling" from a sword getting move one cm, or the "click" of a gun pointed in one direction. I hate the blue + yellow + actor face template for half movie posters. I get bored when I saw in the 80' the same "boy saves girl" cliche, then in 2000, "you are secretly the one, your destiny is saving the world", then now, "look they are all from a minority, how subversive!" AI is just going to industrialized copy/pasting in a industry that have created the concept way before we had GUI.

Based on your descriptions of those played out tropes I think you'll enjoy this "blockbuster movie trailer" template. https://youtu.be/KAOdjqyG37A https://youtu.be/KAOdjqyG37A

You are overlooking the fact that the same tools could be in the hands of ordinary people as well - like you. It might just be a future whose art you might enjoy.

  Personal enjoyment is so cliche. Personalization will be doom. Only half joking. Arguably, the point of media is connection to the collective consciousness. But, something to be said about exploring the personal imagination.

  The early web promised this too. "Everyone can be their own publisher.". We turned from notepad.exe to geocities then blogs. Now we have tiktok which is almost literally built around the premise of copying eachother. "Please like and subscribe and hit that notification bell" in each and every video about gardening, ancient history, movies or any passion. we have tweetstorms, cut-and-paste formatting on all social networks - linkedin being the most cringy IMO. The tools in the hands of ordinary people has proven to result in an infinite firehose of ordinary expression. Those ordinary people are reduced to copy-machines that reproduce what algorithms amplify.
