Sadly the experience with physical products tells us that the vast majority of people prefer cheap disposable crap over expensive craftsmanship.
Most people would be happier with La Marzocco coffe machines which costs thousands of dollars, but if you get an OK shot with a 100 USD DeLongi, then the choice is clear for majority of the population.
I think people sway to low effort endeavours that still have a reward at the end (even if it lesser reward than high effort).
Like given the choice, the vast majority of people would prefer one quality game like Minecraft, LoL, or Fortnite, vs. thousands of one-shot generated games, and looking at user playtime this is exactly what we see. If anything AI is just going to entrench these pre-AI franchises even more.
