Makers of machinima used video games and the control of their characters to make long-running successful series, e.g. Red vs. Blue with Halo. But the writing was still done by humans. Using AI to control 3D characters seem feasible enough, but can AI do compelling plots, or great humor?
Then again, since Idiocracy is a documentary, there's probably enough audience for utterly dumb unfunny humor.
This isn't disruptive, it's evolutionary at best. Red vs Blue was a successful web series 15? years ago, made entirely from screen recordings from Halo 1. Look up "Machinema". As others have pointed out, lack of truly great artists/inspiration seems like the biggest barrier to producing entertainment. Look at season 1 of South Park - good content beats flashy trimmings every day of the week.
