I think it’s just as much a problem when reading the books. But the problem is that a TV show must succeed with a popular audience, whereas a book can please a niche audience.
Big-budget shows must succeed with a popular audience.
One of the nice things about the rapid improvements in special effects technology and AI is that I'm hoping smaller indy studios will start making more shows that are aimed at those niches. If you haven't spent a lot to make the show you can afford to appeal to a much smaller audience.
Sure. But any TV show is big-budget compared to what it takes to produce a book. Books will always have more ability to cater to a weird little niche. Another reason to read more.
More likely that the lives of vfx workers just continue to get less financially stable while having to have more skillets to cover more disciplines at once while "ai" is suppose to make up the difference according to their corporate overlords.
