Part 12/14:
Industry experts predict that the consolidation of power among giant corporations like Amazon and Disney, combined with the unchecked rise of AI, will dramatically reshape entertainment—likely for the worse. As studios become more obsessed with virtue signaling and political correctness, and as AI begins to produce increasingly realistic but fake media, public trust will continue to erode.
Concurrently, insiders speculate that the next decade may see a political and cultural realignment—perhaps a backlash against the overreach of corporate virtue signaling and AI manipulation. Whether this will result in a renaissance of authentic storytelling or further dystopian drift remains to be seen.
