"ai movies made specifically for you" probably won't work because art is social
not entirely, but it is an important part
however the scene can be small. for example, movies specific to tpot become possible when the cost of making a movie approaches zero
@c_valenzuelab I am not anti AI but my view is if everyone can make everything then nobody will care. This already happened with VFX in movies - everything is possible now so there is no Jurassic Park moment in modern cinema, just nonstop CGI blasts that get immediately forgotten
James Cameron on AI datasets and copyright:
"I think people are looking at it all wrong."
"Every human being is a model. You create a model as you go through life."
"My output should be judged on whether it's too close to plagiarism, not my input."
Maybe it'd be for the better if people started treating their "Studio Ghibli" type of AI-entertainment like their pornography: an activity you can enjoy in privacy at home, but not necessarily something you feel inclined to share with the rest of the world publicly.
It's not just sad, it's scary because it suggests that OpenAI people have no taste to an extent that must generalize to being unable to tell right from wrong.

the fact that people don’t seem to understand that the machine learning tools used on the voices in The Brutalist were for the spoken Hungarian, not the accented English, is enough to confirm for me that the hubbub around this stuff is largely reactionary, rather than thoughtful
AI artists frequently try to imply the legitamacy of their art by citing the number of generations it took to find the right image.
On one hand, choosing is the root of what many artists do, but citing the number of gens seems insufficient at best, desperate at worse.
AI probably won't kill movies, but it's much more likely if the only thing that matters is what's on the screen.
Celebrating process and collaboration is the way forward for the ever changing film industry.

I don't think "is it art or not" is a very interesting question. It's not artificial intelligence making art, it's a human using artificial intelligence as a tool, in a wide variety of ways. Relying little or a lot into AI, using it 1% or 10% or 100%, mixing it with other steps.…

there has always been a public misconception of CGI that the computer does all the work. now that this is becoming true with generative AI, there’s an opening for the public to appreciate CGI for the tedious bespoke craft art that it is.
@Miles_Brundage In Vernor Vinge's 1967 story "The Accomplice" an engineer steals 4 million dollars of compute to generate a four hour film of the LOTR from the text. His boss is furious, until he realizes that it's a cheap movie by Hollywood standards, so they hugely profit and get an Oscar.
