I can already envision everyone talking over each other trying to say how their personal AI generated TV show is the best show they have ever seen.

Just imagine how much lonelier the world is going to feel when people don't even have entertainment in common anymore.

We are kind of already there (not having entertainment in common). It is hard to find a TV series or film that everyone in my friendship circle knows equally well -- the last one was Breaking Bad, and that was over 10 years ago. Everyone finds their niche interest I suppose. Its almost the same with music -- the last decade where our musical interests converged were the 90ies.
Interesting point. I would love to see my personal perfect TV show.

But I would also love to see the perfect show for a combination of people, like my loved ones, so we can watch together.

And lastly, I would love to see the perfect show for a large majority of the population, because there is something special about a shared experience like Game of Thrones or Friends. To this day I can shout “pivooooot” and most everyone gets it.

Maybe the loneliness is a good thing? It seems like everyone (in America at least) hates each other, so extreme isolation may be just what we need in this country.
I think it's probable that everyone hates eachother because we're so isolated that we fail to form empathetic bonds with the people around us. More isolation doesn't seem like the solution.
