Author argues Netflix should be viewed as an AI play because AI can cheaply generate content, lowering its biggest cost and expanding margins.

NFLX — LONG The author argues Netflix's biggest cost is content production, and improving AI video generation will let Netflix cheaply create movies and series based on what its algorithms know people want to watch. Since Netflix has shown audiences will watch content without famous actors, lower costs plus more content should mean higher margins. The author frames this as AI applied where it actually prints money, unlike the crowded AI chip trade.

Lower costs + more content = higher margins.
