AI video won’t need Hollywood. Putting IP into it was a dumb idea. Mickey Mouse seductively polishing a candle stick? That’s not what they wanted, but that’s what they’d get.
When AI comes for movies, it’s going to show how crappy (most) movies already are.
I am not afraid of AI taking over movies, everything AI makes is suffocatingly derivative and boring.
AI makes what people tell it to. Hollywood is already creatively bankrupt, derivative, and boring. AI is, funnily enough, the solution to the current situation - it’ll allow budding film makers who could never get a million dollar budget to make entire movies with blockbuster level cgi and production for essentially peanuts. It’ll allow “reshoots” and editing and complete rewrites in an afternoon instead of months and millions more dollars.
It is funnily enough almost the saviour to movies, while spelling the demise of the movie industry as we know it. It’s electricity to the candle. It’s the model T to the horse and cart.
You clumsily believe in AI like somewhere between a religion and a scam you are trying to get me in on when the reality is this is a tool for bullshitters and nobody really likes bullshit art.
Even if AI wasn't primarily bullshit, which it is, your conception that AI making movie production "cheaper" and more disposable in nature will SAVE Hollywood from making uninspiring movies is laughably absurd.
What the hell are you smoking? That makes no sense, movies are going to become massively more derivative, that is how capitalism works, it is a race to the bottom.
If AI makes what you tell it to, as you say, than AI will make crushingly derivative and boring movies for massive companies that have extinguished all the other studios making movies that aren't AI slop.
I didn’t say AI will save Hollywood…….. quite the opposite actually - I said it will destroy Hollywood.
It means that filmmakers won’t need to worry about making $1bil at the box office just to break even, so every movie won’t have to be safe and derivative. Movies can take risks again because production costs are now a few thousand dollars instead of a few hundred million dollars. It allows rapid iteration, rapid “reshoots”, near instant CGI, automatic lip synched multi language audio, etc.
Like I said, the only people acting like they’re in a religion or cult are the anti-AI luddites like you. People like you would have been anti-TV, anti-car, anti-flash photography, etc
