What people want from entertainment is to be told where benevolent moral authority begins and ends, a story just requires potential for mass appeal and surprise.
It's hard for those of weaker constitutions to admit there is no alchemy to story writing / charisma from the perspective of the story teller and conman. They prefer to believe in soul and muse than dig deeper.
The wishful thinking Entertainment industry has landed on this fake news about individual AI bros wanting to watch themselves as heroes in hollywood's oh-so-valuable existing films as if that door slamming zinger lands. The desperation, if there is any, is for AI to create novel IP and scenarios in underserved genres like Chrome Lords: Cyberpunk Egypt not for stale content deepfakes. AI bros cause "creatives" major concern because they might find the typical western audience actually worthy of inspiration above all.
The most entertaining thing you'll see until AI is in every niche will be watching the old guard cat herders try to collar cultural relevancy again. And I really don't think they mind that, all glory to weakness.
