Is Hollywood ACTUALLY Cooked? | The AI Debate

Two things can be true at the same time.

Hollywood absolutely earned the backlash. Years of prioritizing messaging over storytelling alienated audiences, tanked box office numbers, and led to massive job losses. People are fed up — and that frustration is understandable.

But here’s the part many don’t want to hear: AI has not dethroned Hollywood.

In this video, I break down why the technology being impressive doesn’t mean it’s commercially viable, why viral AI clips still rely heavily on existing Hollywood IP, and why major studios like Disney are investing billions into controlling the AI pipeline instead of fighting it.

AI is a tool. The biggest players are adapting. If Hollywood is going to be replaced, it won’t be by 15-second clips using someone else’s characters. It will require original IP, commercially viable storytelling, and real audience buy-in.
