We are probably a few years away from Hollywood just pushing any semi-popular book series into an AI woodchipper to get a TV show or movie made.

If not Hollywood, there will be an independent movement of fans at their computers doing it. Have you seen Star Trek fan made shows? Imagine if they could just generate their own.

This fake pharmaceutical ad has been living rent free in my head all week. Yes, it's still stilted and the lip sync is off... but compare this to 6 months ago.

This is going to be everywhere in [checks watch] 5 minutes

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if someday in my lifetime you'll be on Amazon and you'll have the option to purchase a book in the format of Paperback, Kindle, Audible, Generated Video.

I'm including Paperback in there because I'm an optimist.

My guess on how this will evolve will probably mirror the journey of music (Napster, RIAA fighting it, then selling mp3s, then streaming as a free for all)

1. Fans will start generating these videos
2. Rights holders will try to take them down
3. Whack a mole fails
4. They become sanctioned

I don't say all of this stuff because I'm cheering it on. I'm just pattern matching capitalism on what it's going to do as best I can. History rhymes, etc.

to be fair this is the true experience of reading a ten part fantasy trilogy

I pretty much exclusively read sci-fi and fantasy and don't I know it. 😅

I also stopped watching the TV show pretty quickly because I thought "this is going to get canceled I'll stick with the books"
