I haven't heard Radio since I got a Casette Recorder in 1980.
I wasn't in a cinema since I could afford a Video Recorder in 1982.
I don't own a TV (Or a record player, a casette recorder or a video recorder) since I bought my first PC in 2000.
I stopped physical scale modelling since I started doing 3D modelling.
(I still collect vintage scale modelling kits, though)

We already have Deepfakes, allowing us to resurrect long gone movie stars. We already can recreate convincing photorealistic pictures.
Perhaps in a year or two, we probably can feed a movie script to an AI and out comes the next Marvel blockbuster.
"Hand made" visual art will be deader than a hobnail.
There might be some "artistic" niches left, like there are still audiophiles left who mess about with physical records or even tapes instead of mp3's. Heck, even downloading mp3'sis obsolete now, since the majority is streaming music on demand. Same for movies. Physical CD's? My latest laptop doesn't even have a CD player anymore. Lol.

I really don't know Poser's endgame here. What's their vision?
Do they really think a slightly less crippled implementation of Cycles would bring all the high end DAZ content creators back to Poser?
Or even lure in new content creators?
