It could be even weirder. We might be playing video games that are essentially built from the ground up by and for the individual gamer, such that the concept of a "game", let alone the same game, doesn't even make sense. Same for what we have called movies and TV for the last 100 years.

You can already go and generate a book to read or a song to listen to, no one does this, I don't know why you expect it to be different with video games. People want to consume art, they don't want to make it.

You can't just remove the societal/cultural aspects of art without neutering its emotional appeal and impact. Ripping all humanity of out movies/video games is not going to result in higher quality art.

You're getting awfully close to telling people what the should and shouldn't enjoy. Ultimately, this will be decided by the market.

Huh, I guess Avengers is the height of artistic expression in film then.

The market has literally nothing to say about what is worthwhile artistically. It just says what people are willing to buy.

Take a closer look at your own previous comment. Aside from stubbornly declaring "AI bad!", what you described there is market behavior. Markets can not be ignored.
