But is there far more of what any particular person would want to watch being produced than they would want to watch? Does anyone in the mood to watch something ever accept a less-than-preferred substitute?

If so, there is meaningful room for improvement in selection. (Not that I think AI is anywhere close to making a dent in it directly, though AI aids may increase productivity of human creative talent.) E.g., Instead of writing scripts from scratch, think of an AI writing first draft scripts from treatments, after training on a corpus of treatments and completed scripts.

The older I get the more true this becomes. There’s so many things I want to watch or read that I’ll never get to.

Best you can do is prioritize by some heuristic, watch/read/listen the top N%, hope you prioritized correctly, and bail at the earlies sign of mis-fit.

Imagine having 1 AI that is trained to recognize content you personally love. Then have another AI create the entertainment content, and improved by the 1st.

I'm pretty sure that's Netflix.

Then it's doing a terrible job of it.
