The situation is analogous to the introduction of modern manufacturing techniques into the formerly artisan endevour.With more and more imagery generated by computers and other means, some movies will basically become the "machine made" things. That will contrast with the minority that will still bemade using human talent and "hand labor".
The two coexist in many fields today. We have machine-made shoes and hand-made ones. Shirts... many other things.
Masses want cheap product, cheap shirts and shoes, food and entertainment.
The fine things shall remain the prerogative of the few cognoscenty that are willing to pay premium prices for their wine, single harvest, no blend.
So yes, the CG IS turning movies into cheap mass-production entertainment. Fortunately for us, good movies will continue to be made.
