But does that mean human creatives are on the way out? Not according to billionaire investor <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/25/01/43084861/mark-cubans-29-million-shark-tank-portfolio-from-200k-in-dude-wipes-to-200m-for-beatbox-beverages-im-killing-it">Mark Cuban</a>.
Cuban, known for his bold takes on business and technology, recently addressed AI's role in entertainment on the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lUwmA0lOWwM">"Your Mom's House" </a>podcast.&nbsp;
"AI can propose a million things in a second, but then somebody&#8217;s got to go through and decide what they&#8217;re going to put their money into,&#8221; he said. His take? AI is just a tool, not the mastermind behind Hollywood's next big hit.
Don't Miss:
<ul>
<li>‘Scrolling To UBI' — Deloitte's #1 fastest-growing software company allows users to earn money on their phones. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mode-mobile-2">You can invest today for just $0.26/share with a $1000 minimum.</a></li>
<li>If there was a new fund backed by Jeff Bezos offering a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/arrived-private-credit-fund">7-9% target yield with monthly dividends would you invest in it</a>?</li>
</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The AI Takeover Fear Is Real</h2>
Not everyone shares Cuban's confidence. The 2023 Hollywood writers' and actors' strikes were fueled by fears that AI could replace screenwriters and performers altogether.&nbsp;
Over 11,000 writers, represented by the Writers Guild of America, walked off the job to demand stronger protections against AI-generated scripts. SAG-AFTRA joined the fight, pushing for safeguards as AI technology advanced at a breakneck pace.
The fear isn't unfounded. A study by the <a href="https://www.brookings.edu/articles/generative-ai-the-american-worker-and-the-future-of-work/?utm_source=chatgpt.com">Brookings Institution</a> found that AI is already disrupting industries that rely on dynamic information processing, including creative fields like writing and software development.&nbsp;
According to the <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/0ac1fe79-4c2a-4030-8046-061293ba1127?accessToken=zwAGEWkI51bokc8Kwf55TCpAMNOARgYSk7oRJw.MEQCIG5-PQaa6iGLaikfBFtPehc-hzozRviMYt85T9M7DDvLAiBgfIMjMZBGPCW26esEtNmB134EiMbOs6AoNHkJ5hEGRQ&amp;sharetype=gift&amp;token=de99c9c8-c493-4cf6-842f-2b54a83b2bbf&amp;utm_source=chatgpt.com">Financial Times</a>, AI-driven content creation tools have already replaced some entry-level creative roles.
Hollywood has seen attempts to use technology to predict blockbusters before—usually with mixed results. Studios have long relied on data analytics to determine which scripts and actors will generate the biggest returns.&nbsp;
Trending: BlackRock is calling 2025 the year of alternative assets. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks">One firm from NYC has quietly built a group of 60,000+ investors who have all joined in on an alt asset class previously exclusive to billionaires like Bezos and Gates.</a>
But Cuban isn't convinced AI will crack the code. &#8220;I&#8217;ve seen companies that use analytics to determine what a studio or label should release, fail time after time,&#8221; he said<a href="https://africa.businessinsider.com/entertainment/mark-cuban-says-ai-cant-completely-automate-the-creative-process/1f43wt7">.</a> &#8220;That&#8217;s the same as using AI to replace everyone. It may be a novelty. But it won&#8217;t work.&#8221;
This isn't the first time a new technology has threatened to upend the entertainment world. In the early 2000s, digital music-sharing platforms like Napster disrupted the music industry, sending record labels into a panic.&nbsp;
But rather than kill the industry, it paved the way for streaming services like Spotify (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPOT#NYSE">SPOT</a>), which now dominate the market.
The invention of photography in the 19th century sparked fears that traditional painting would become obsolete. Instead, artists adapted, leading to new movements like Impressionism and modern art.

Cuban believes the same evolution will happen with AI. &#8220;It's part of the natural progression from drawing to CGI and now text to video, with new tools coming to take it even further." Cuban isn't against AI—far from it.&nbsp;
He sees it as a way for top creatives to refine their work and make their process more efficient. &#8220;Veteran creatives who are able to harness the power of AI to improve their own output will continue to see major dividends,&#8221; he said.&nbsp;
AI, he argues, will help top-tier talent become even better by accelerating storyboarding, testing, and production.
Still, Cuban is clear: AI lacks the gut instinct that makes creative work resonate with audiences. "There is a reason why some people have hit after hit&#8230; They have a feel for what the audience wants at that point in time," he said.

Check Out What Whales Are Doing With SPOT

On Tuesday, Bank of America Securities analyst Jessica Reif Ehrlich maintained a Buy rating on Spotify Technology (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPOT#NYSE">SPOT</a>) with a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/SPOT/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">price target of $700</a>.
Reif Ehrlich noted that Spotify is at an inflection point in profitability and FCF, driven by deeper subscriber penetration, price increases, new pricing tiers, advertising improvement driven by digital initiatives, and new businesses like Audiobooks and Education.
The analyst is confident that Spotify&#8217;s first-quarter 2025 results will be at least in line with guidance on key metrics. This includes revenue, premium subscribers, and MAUs.
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/02/43983837/spotify-ceo-wants-eu-to-penalize-apple-for-defying-regulations" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Spotify CEO Wants EU To Penalize Apple For Defying Regulations</a>
Reif Ehrlich forecasted Q1 revenue of €4.21 billion ($4.5 billion). She also expected a gross margin of 31.5% (in line with the guide). Recent U.S. dollar strengthening could be a headwind to her current published first-quarter calendar 2025 revenue forecast.
Reif Ehrlich&#8217;s first-quarter operating income forecast of €488 million is below Spotify&#8217;s guidance of €548 million to account for social charges, given the rise in share price (about +20%) during the quarter.
The analyst noted that social charges and any FX headwinds do not indicate a slowdown in the business fundamentals, which she said remain strong.
Reif Ehrlich believes that Spotify&#8217;s subscription model should be more defensive and utility-like amid the current macro uncertainty.
Spotify had a robust year of gross margin expansion. So much so that Reif Ehrlich does not expect 2025 to replicate the magnitude of expansion seen in 2024.
The analyst currently projects gross margins to be sequentially flat to modestly decline in the second and third quarters. She predicts a return to expansion in the fourth quarter.
Notably, this margin outlook contemplates the recently announced renewal deals with several of the largest music labels.
Spotify has several levers for future growth, such as future pricing increases, new product launches, and programmatic advertising, the analyst added.
Price Action: Spotify stock is down 0.51% at $547.20 at last check Tuesday.

Technology companies using a subscription-based business model are more likely to weather economic uncertainty amid the ongoing big-tech selloff, according to CNBC&#8217;s Jim Cramer. The charts of both Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) and Spotify Technology SA (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPOT#NYSE">SPOT</a>) showcase a bullish trend based on the <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a> data.
What Happened: Chartist Bob Lang&#8216;s analysis, reviewed by Cramer, indicates positive outlooks for Spotify and Netflix, with potential for Roku Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ROKU#NASDAQ">ROKU</a>). Cramer highlights their subscription models&#8217; resilience amidst macroeconomic uncertainty.
"If I were to do this, I would buy common stock Spotify, I would buy common stock Netflix, and I would buy calls on Roku – that way I cut off my downside," said Cramer on his Mad Money <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/03/24/jim-cramer-chart-shows-how-netflix-spotify-can-weather-uncertainty.html">show</a> on Monday.
Why It Matters: Here&#8217;s an analysis of Netflix and Spotify&#8217;s daily charts.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Netflix</h3>
Netflix was higher by 9.62% on a year-to-date basis, outperforming many tech peers, highlighted Cramer. He says that its daily charts reveal a recent rebound with high volume and the MACD exhibits a bullish crossover, a significant positive signal.
According to the data from <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>, NFLX&#8217;s share price of $971.99 apiece as of Monday&#8217;s close was trading above its short and long-term trading averages, whereas its relative strength index of 54 was in the neutral zone.
However, the momentum indicator MACD indicates that the stock is in a bearish trend as the score of its MACD line was -2.52, showing that its 12-period exponential moving average is below the 26-period EMA.
However, the histogram has a positive number of 6.14, meaning that the MACD line is rising and getting closer to the signal line. This is a bullish sign within a bearish trend. It shows that the bearish momentum is decreasing.

Major companies like Spotify Technology SA (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPOT#NYSE">SPOT</a>), AT&amp;T Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/T#NYSE">T</a>), and DoorDash Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DASH#NASDAQ">DASH</a>) are currently utilizing Llama models in their operations.
Ahmad Al-Dahle, VP and Head of GenAI at Meta posted about the achievement on LinkedIn. "Each Llama download represents a vote of confidence in open source AI – and a shared belief that we can go so much further building together,&#8221; said Al-Dahle.

Why It Matters: In January, Zuckerberg <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/01/43327057/mark-zuckerberg-says-metas-llama-4-to-feature-agentic-capabilities-unlocking-new-use-cases-it-will-become-one-the-most-widely-used-ai-models">revealed ambitious plans</a> for Llama 4, the next-generation open-source artificial intelligence model. The announcement came during Meta's fourth-quarter earnings call, highlighting the industry's shift toward more autonomous AI systems.
Zuckerberg also ensured that the Llama investment cycle will continue, with expectations for internal operational improvement, early wins on the consumer-facing side, and with advertisers.
That being said, Llama&#8217;s journey has faced obstacles. It&#8217;s currently embroiled in an AI copyright lawsuit accusing Meta of using copyrighted e-books for model training without permission. Furthermore, data privacy issues have compelled Meta to postpone or cancel Llama&#8217;s launch in <a href="https://benzinga.com/markets/25/02/43880029/mark-zuckerbergs-meta-and-google-slam-europes-strict-ai-rules-sometimes-it-goes-too-far">several EU countries</a>.
Despite this, Meta plans to launch new Llama models with reasoning, multimodal capabilities, and &#8216;agentic&#8217; features in the coming months.
Meta stock lost 3.73% to close at $582.36 on Tuesday. The stock surged 17.35% over the past year, as per <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>.
