That's like saying people will eventually find the printing press cheap because our paperback novels weren't laboriously drawn by monks. People prefer the clarity and uniformity of mechanized typesetting over the artisticness of blackletter scribbled in cursive with a bird feather. CGI in movies is a similar story. People want to hear stories told by computers rather than puppets. People don't play dungeons and dragons anymore because it's now cheap to have AI generate realistic looking 3d fantasy worlds on the fly thanks to video games. Technology wins, every single time, because it gives us what we want and it solves the greatest problem people have always had, which is other people. Anyone who says differently is kidding themselves.
