The same as music. Dumb down the genres once they are almost the same:
Metal, rock, pop. Tons of cross-polinated chords and riffs, so the genre can be followed by almost anyone. Ditto with the lyrics.
So, Netflix it's doing the same. And Marvel with the comics, where every hero it's just the same but with different weapons.
And the books, too. A good 90% of best sellers are utter crap, really streamlined stories so everyone can follow the plots as if they were cheap soap operas.
In the end, you need to go elsewhere (niche books and media) to find something worth your dollars/euros.
Something it's wrong when some people writting fiction in Gemini (not AI, protocol) both in English and in Spanish can hook you better than any random library.
And don't let me start on AI produced crap from Amazon and Spotify...
- Okawari 1y agoI think the "algorithm movie" concept, describes something also very prevalent in music these days. With the number of music producers which learn from tutorials and want to make music within a certain genre are incentivized to generally not stray too far from the prescribed genre conventions. This in turn is amplified by algorithms that will also not stray too far when recommending music in response to someone's listening habits. These habits again often "poisoned" by the listener not really paying attention to the music that is served them, as it might only be on in the background while working or doing something else. Its like a lot of people with nothing to say, being recommended by something that does not understand anything, recommending to people who don't really listen. We, the listeners reap what we sow, I guess
