I don't think you understood what I meant by increasing demand/consumption. "Another sequel of Star Wars" or "A new season of Game of Thrones" aren't increasing demand for art, they're replacing previous forms of art with generated forms. And the usefulness of machine learning in fields like medical research is great - but it isn't going to massively increase consumption.
I see your point. Assuming that in the future we will consume content as we do today, you are probably right.
My point is a bit different though: things will change. Famously in the 70s somebody didn't see the point of having a computer at home because nobody would need the stuff that computers could do in that period. Then needs changed, new needs came, computers evolved, and now we have computers even in our pockets. With AI it will likely be the same.
