Plenty to think about here & i'm still thinking! Apart from the Industrial Revolution being a precursor of AI, don't you think that cinema & television also were?
I seem to remember a megatrend from John Naisbitt which anticipated “hi-tech > hi-touch”. Which implies for your argument that there will be a mad rush for human to human spaces, where maximum idiosyncrasy is expected (good for live musicians!), as the routinised becomes the province of artilects. The next worrying vector of change is plausible humanoids moving thru space/ time… that thankfully seems to be a very high technical bar. (Tho that depends on how much people existentially commit to their virtual existences, where sims can present with any digital physicality they like).

Iain M Banks had a lot to say on this in his Culture novels. sad he is no longer around to tell us more.
