Who is going to spend time watching those episodes if content is so easy to make? Everyone will be busy watching their own generated content.

AI is going to watching those. AI watches much faster than humans.
Because few are great storytellers, people like celebrities, and having a shared cultural reference point.
Even TikTok's main fuel are likes and shares. Isolated material will just cease to be interesting, because it's from your own imagination.
There is a (dystopian) world where AI is so good at making movies or series so well tailored to a person so cheaply that there will be no more shared culture.
It’s reaching, of course, but imo the best shows are those that have small, dedicated, fanbase. If it’s small it means that the show has enough personality to drive other people away.
And that’s fine. Popular stuff is popular mainly because of lack of controverse.
On the one hand you say it's dystopian, but you also seem to be celebrating it? ;P Maybe a show with a fanbase of 1 is in fact the best show in the entire world ;P. Regardless: I don't think you end up with no shared culture at all, because if something happens to me that normally would only happen to just me I still tell my friends about it, and maybe they want to experience the same unique thing I saw, and the same will be (and already is, fwiw) true of AI generated slop.
