If AI can eventually create a short film in UE5, why can't it make TV sitcoms? For sure, there's little creative cinematography due to time constraints, and limits, and it could even enhance the medium due to the aforementioned limits in the real world.

Robots can't be provided with perfect human emotions which is the most essential thing needed for a story writer or film director

My future job is pd.
I don't think artificial intelligence can replace my job. I think that he is a person who communicates with many people and creates programs that deliver emotions and fun to many people. I don't think robots can bring as much imagination as humans.

It could be possible that AI replaces film producer/directors, however when that happen, all of workers that supposed to be coordinated by PD would already replaced by AI. If that happens, what is the point of PD anyways?
