    You say that like the current models are the end of the line but understanding why film making techniques are used isn’t impossible even just for a llm based system. Designing new styles isn’t out of reach for ai either, sure you can God of the gaps it and say there’s a mysterious sliver of soul required but practically it’ll be able to be every bit as original as any human, probably more so as it has more knowledge to work from.

    I know it’s desirable to hate on ai because it’s scary or popular but nailing your colors to the argument that it’ll never be able to do certain things is already an exhausting game of moving that goalpost every time a new model emerges and that’s only going to continue.

      It’ll be so “original” that it makes no sense, evokes no emotion, and goes nowhere.

      And if the goalpost is a decent movie, then the goalpost hasn’t moved at all. AI is just impossibly far away.

      Perhaps most importantly does humanity actually want to build bigger and bigger supercomputers using more and more electricity/resources just so some AI can make a crappy action movie? What a waste.

        AI is just impossibly far away.

        Sure it’s pretty far away, but it’s also moving at break neck speed. Last year low-res spaghetti-eating Will Smith body horror was the pinnacle of ai generated video, today we’re already generating videos that take at least a second look to determine that it was AI generated. The big question is at what point that improvement rate will start to level off.
