That’s false live theaters have been increasing “it dipped because of Covid but 2021 and 2022 performances still increased” https://www.ibisworld.com/industry-statistics/market-size/live-performance-theaters-united-states/

Again the fact that live theater and movie theater still exists despite tv and phones shows that your baseless predictions is overly exaggerated

I’m talking about live theaters in 1950s and before when tvs were still a new thing life theaters thrived but we’re small in number yet there are more than a thousands today….with your logic they should’ve closed down because tvs are a thing but guess what? They didn’t. That’s why you can’t just predict the future that easily

First of all did you just say movie theaters are on their way out? A huge portion of movies are released to theaters and people still go to theaters to socialize and stuff like that despite tv being widely used

And live theaters are definitely not something only elite people enjoyed there are like 2000 theaters in America compared to like 40 decades ago

Your obviously just predicting people will choose to be losers staying home glued to a screen and not socializing

I think your imagining worst case scenario which is fine but there is a reason social media is called “social” humans want to communicate with each other it isn’t just about entertainment…for example everyone thought live theater was gonna die out when tv came about yet it’s stronger than ever….everyone thought big screen theater was gonna die out when personal tvs and streaming services were a thing yet it still exists….. I feel like your just imagining worst case scenario where AI generated any image and people would rather sit in their houses and watch animated person boxing another animated person instead of actual interacting with other humans
