AI is already in a bunch of creative workflows. Just look at modern Photoshop. Selecting and hitting delete has AI infill for the background replacement.
Creates can these video gen AI in various ways. There are some youtube channels of people using these in creative workflows that are really impressive, from mocap replacement, character insertion, background replacement, changing camera angle in post, animating/inserting characters from character boards, animated between stills generated in traditional methods, etc. It's not just "prompt and generate". It can be, because it's easy, but it also doesn't have to be. It's a tool.
i do photo restoration as part of my research (bizarre place to be for a math undergrad), so i do think AI is a lifesaver for very small adjustments that would be tedious or subpar otherwise. i just disagree that its creative output is of value (which isn't the case you made, anyway).
I do wonder how studios are working around consistent human faces, it's a problem on almost every discussion forum I have read for AI videos and not something that seems to be solved yet.
Do you have any examples of those creative workflows that have made it into Hollywood for example?
At one point the only way to know if something is real or by a major US tech company is nudity.
Hollywood is using this tech already. Storyboarding and previs work has already fully become driven by AI tools.
Hollywood is already in a rough era but it’s because they can’t create original human stories any more.
This tech won’t change anything.
Yeah, during most blockbuster movies lately all I can think is: "All pixels, no plot."
Project Hail Mary was largely real sets and a puppet.

Theres a Steve Jobs quote about this
you would watch a movie generated with the sterility of an LLM?

Weirdly phrased, but yes, I would watch a movie generated with an LLM by a person passionate about the movie they're creating.
I think Hollywood's obsession with unnecessary sex scenes[0] is the #1 reason I have been watching less and less movies. So yeah, probably.
[0] e.g. Don't Look Up
Have you seen the past dozen or so Marvel movies?
i've tried not to
Sure; why not? It has to be better than some of the absolute garbage that's out on the various streaming services today; right?
god help us if we have to choose between the two );

Me? No. My kids? I think they already have. I don’t allow YouTube in our house, but they for sure watch slop with friends.
At the moment the duration of each shot is a major limitation. When that limitation gets solved is when we'll see actual disruption.
Average shot length is down to something like 3 seconds in modern cinema. That's a pretty low bar.
