Pulp will be almost completely replaced by AI, no doubt, within the next couple years. I don't see how anyone could possibly consider that a viable career path anymore. The people who consume it couldn't care less or notice, and they'll have it tailored precisely to their own tastes based on advertising data collection. It was never about quality, just sheer quantity of the same thing over and over again (but slightly different), which LLMs are phenomenal at. Same goes for pop music and mainstream cinema on a slightly further timescale.
