And even if it can...why would I want to watch that? What's the point of exiting if we aren't able to do anything?

Well maybe yeah on some level. It could be a fun thing is we could theoretically extend our shows as long as we wanted or whatever, maybe? But I am more saying I don’t think the tech actually works that way, it just seems like it does. Like ChatGPT doesn’t have the literal millions of unique jokes it would actually take to replace anyone who really writes jokes, it’s a lake that’s an inch deep.

I don’t want shows that run forever. I want stories that have endings.

Even if AI could make a perfect show with an ending included, I'd still rather watch stuff made by humans, unless we all get UBI and don't need to worry about starving to death if we can't find work.

Sure, again, maybe. This is a bit of an odd complaint to make on a thread about Dr who though.
