Most people are dumb. They watch slop on TV. Those who don't follow or care about politics implicitly get their politics from the slop TV they watch. They lean left because Hollywood can't help but insert left-wing politics into their stories--or because they know how impactful stories are.
In the future, as AI-generated video becomes "good enough", these same people will happily watch AI slop on TV. But the difference is, Hollywood won't have a monopoly on AI slop. The right wing can create their own AI slop TV/movies to entertain/propagandize the masses.
Hollywood creates all these "ripped from the headlines" movies about recent current events, but they always put a left-wing spin on the story. So when people see a big Hollywood movie or Netflix series based on a "true story" that becomes the official narrative of the events, even though it was dramatized with fictional flourishes.
With AI, the right can make movies about recent events like the Covid lab leak and cover-up, the Trump assassination attempt, and the undercover FBI agents inciting the Jan 6 "insurrection". These AI movies don't need to be good, they just need to be "good enough".
A lot of normies have already gotten the right side of the story on those events from Fox News or social media--but only center-right normies. The normie left will not watch Fox News or go on X, but they will watch a movie, especially a "ripped from the headlines" movie "based on a true story", which normies can't get enough of. Seeing those events emotionally dramatized from a right-wing perspective will make it impossible for them NOT to sympathize with the right--they will become more right-wing.
