I think you missed the point that he/she means AI TV and AI Twitch, not Human TV and Human Twitch, or whatever you want to call it. The point is that the content will be 24/7 AI-generated

I believe GP is referring to the multiple AI-driven vtubers on Twitch (vedal987 and motherv3 I think?). They're not yet 24/7 because they still require human supervision for reasons -- vedal987 was recently banned for holocaust denial, IIRC.

I know it's not the same, but the implication is that an influx of effectively unlimited content will change the equation for consumers. I don't think it will: even in the world of human-written books, human-made TV, human-streamed Twitch, content is already effectively infinite, and already almost entirely garbage.

  Agree that it's effectively infinite. Strong disagree that is it almost entirely garbage. That opinion is your filter system working and not an objective evaluation. For starters, you can't evaluate most of it at all because you don't have time to do any significant sampling of any significant portion of it. How many TV episodes, movies, books, YouTube videos, video games, were made in the last twenty years? Do you really think that "garbage" is an accurate description of 99% of them? I don't thinks that objective. It _might_ be fair to say that 95% are relatively poor quality or not to your taste. But "garbage"? The thing that's challenging is that to be fair to this content we have to separate our superficial judgement of its quality from our evaluation of it's relevance to us. For practical purposes, we have to find ways to dismiss almost all of it because we do not have a million years to consume content. But that doesn't mean that it's almost all bad content.
