But here is the question: Does the sheer volume of content make it harder to find the good stuff? Or are we just spoiled for choice?

Generative AI (text-to-video, voice synthesis, scriptwriting tools) is lowering production costs. However, it raises legal and ethical issues regarding likeness rights, original authorship, and job displacement for writers, actors, and animators.
