You can take already painted warhammer figurines, pose them, take a photo, prompt an AI to make that your first scene, and generate a hollywood level scene in about a minute or two.
Yes, sure, you can buy the figurine and get the joy of painting it. But there's new things you can do now too, things you couldn't dream about before.
But I'll grant you this, the AI coding extinction event is so severe that I do believe we need to support anyone trying to preserve any memory of it. Like, we need to build entire museums, one for each programming language.

if that's so awesome then why isn't everybody doing it?
I never dreamt about stuff like that, but are there actually people who are like "oh thank God I can finally make my AI movies with my figurines and other stuff I have laying around"
honestly you sound too enthusiastic about this, like Sam Altman "AI podcast about your kids" tier enthusiastic
People are doing it, but not that much, because while it generates some pretty good five-second scenes, it fails terribly at generating any long-form video. And by long-form, I mean 'longer than 30 seconds'.
I think what people want is to tell a story that's in their imagination, and no current AI is up to that task (at least in video format). Great for making an animated PNG for a meme, but not for adapting that fanfic you are writing.
What's the point of being this rude? People are doing things like this, you just have to look around YouTube.
This is what I don't like about the anti stance, it's just so often dismissive when people are excited about something.
But would you blame the figurine painting community for not wanting that?
If you want to do AI movies, join the AI movie community.
The hobby programming community isn't about vibe coding, that's what the vibe coding community is for.
