I don’t claim to know EXACTLY what AI-generated films will be like. But most everything I see that’s AI-generated is mediocre at best, shitty at worst. So I am not sure why I should presume AI-generated movies are going to be good, any more than I should speculate movies by Labradoodles will be.

AI hasn't been able yet to make a single movie, and even the optimist thinks we're 5 years away from that. And yet, some people already claim to know exactly what AI-generated movies are going to be like?

Soulless, mass produced, ugly, bad, garbage
Will there be a Threadnaught about Robo-Vic
The hair is pretty accurate, just needs frosted tips
Frosted tips on everything. everyone. everywhere.

There is a non-trivial argument that a person defamed by an AI-generated falsehood which was published could recover against the owner or developer of the AI. But probably not if the plaintiff is a public figure; it would be really hard to show actual malice.
Won't that be something?
The future sucks.
The barriers are money and data corpus, not technology.
I’d be surprised if we don’t see it announced in the next three years.
if there's no story to tell, no experience to share, just a sequence of events calculated to keep our attention, why should we waste our two hours?
Just like there is a big market for shitty canned music now.
They will make people like it.
(Good films will still exist, but they'll become a niche taste.)
A few were surprisingly prescient, but most were hilariously wrong.
But as entertainment? As art?
Like I think it’s amazing what Boston Dynamics can do with a robot but do I want to watch one do Swan Lake?
The Maya, Nuke and Cinema 4d simulations so much VFX & pixar-type animation uses get swept away as OpenAI diversifies its business model.
I hope human provenance wins out.
I would hope that the important bits of the processes stay human.
Watching a person do this well means they went through a ton of training to hone the skills they have at least.
Watching a robot do it means it just got programmed well.
The former is immensely more entertaining IMO
Getting something that can whip up complex scenes for your film super quick in HD that you could edit in on the fly is pretty massive, potentially as massive as CG
I would love to see an army of those dog bots doing any sort of ballet. The cutest skynet.
I think I had a really similar discussion years ago on Twitter.
I said in another thread, they will make great b-roll for corporate training videos to have behind the paid green screen actors.
Every AI film will have every single person wearing mittens at all times.
People could use AI to make hundreds, maybe even thousands of films *a day*. If it’s constantly learning, they’ll eventually be polished if not great.
It's not trivial to improve quality
And even then, the current algorithms have complexity limits, memory limits, and other limits on what it can do
Will AI movies ever be good as human ones? I don't know but I'm not going to assume it won't.
