There are plenty of things where AI (a really bad naming) will be useful - Art is not one of those… Without life experiences you’ll ever be a copycat at best - and even if by chance artificial art is going to be halfway good, I’m, for one, not in the least interested in it. (I’ve already turned away from most mass/factory produced Hollywood garbage, I certainly wouldn’t want more of it produced by a machine).
Optimist: if anyone can generate a movie with a snap of the fingers, the best-written ones will emerge on top and we’ll have a glut of amazingly-written movies.
More likely: it’s all going to be slop.
Best case scenario imo is that you can make your own movie at home and watch it with your friends and laugh at how weird and bad it is.
Imagine if it’s a live stream, changing the plot as you watch dependent on your reaction.
At first it might be fun to see what happens if Frodo doesn’t throw the ring in the lava, but eventually you gotta ask yourself why you’re wasting your time in front of a screen watching weird cat videos.
Well sure, he didn’t say a good film.
Goro Miyazaki directed Tales From Earthsea. When you look at how bad that movie is, it makes sense that he wouldn’t see AI movies as inherently problematic; they’ll be similar in quality to his own work.
Passing reminder that Goro Miyazaki is an architect who never wanted to make movies. He was brought on as an architecture advisor, and the studio kept pushing him to take more and more responsibility because he’s his father’s son, and his father encouraged it. The movie sucks because he’s not a director and he didn’t want to make it.
(Side note: I actually rather like Tales from Earthsea, so when I say it sucks I’m referring to general public reception and not my own opinion.)
