Hollywood verses AI Video Production

If it’s anything like AI stills, the human brain can detect a difference and no matter how hard they try, filmmakers will not truly be able to replicate human-made films.

A producer wrote this on twitter:

[quote] I used to shoot $500k pharmaceutical commercials. I made this for $500 in Veo 3 credits in less than a day. What’s the argument for spending $500K now?

The example pharmaceutical commercial he made is at link.

Verses?

Who gives a fuck what a producer for pharma marketing thinks?

I would love to be able to create stories with AI.

I've always wanted to do something like this, but was not going to spend tens of thousands to do an indie short film.

If I could create something as good as the fake pharma commercial, I'd probably do it (although I'm not paying $500 to make a 2min short.) I'd pay $500 to buy an AI tool, like I'm buying MS Office or other software suite.

Has it occurred to anyone that when everyone has the ability to make AI movies, movies will become meaningless?

None of these concoctions can receive a copyright, which makes them impossible to own and thus impossible to make money from

[quote]Has it occurred to anyone that when everyone has the ability to make AI movies, movies will become meaningless?

That is absurd.

Just because everyone had a typewriter (or computer) didn't make novels meaningless. Same with cameras on phones - didn't make photographers obsolete. People still hire wedding photographers and portrait photographers.

Sure - at some point you'll be able to write a prompt that says "create a movie with x,y,z" and a completed film will be produced. But, there's still room for the truly creative.

What will disappear is the need to pay writers, actors, and directors for crap when crap can be generated for free.

We don't need factory workers either when automation can run 24/7 at a fraction of the cost.

What's left is high skill - whether that's in factories, writing, or making films.

The people in them look dead in the eyes. And the hands look off. AI still can't get these things right.

It's only the beginning, We are all so fucked, not just Hollywood.

in 25 years, there will be no experts and authorities anymore.

There will be no more trust in reality.

There will be little human creativity and originality.

There will be total surveillance, recording and cross-referencing everything.

And the machines will be awake.

Im am glad I am entering eldergay territory.

I'm assuming that AI cannot fathom all components of impressions yet. It's like artificial flavors. They have ten or twenty components whereas the real flavor has 200 components. Once AI learns all face muscles and how they work together when showing an emotion, then it may look real.

A friend is a very talented painter. His brother took a photo of one of his paintings and cropped out about 80% of it. He then put that image into some AI tool and instructed it to “finish the painting.” The result was incredibly close to the original. It was amazing and disturbing.

Worst analogy in human history.

We ALREADY HAVE the analogy you should have used — AI writing for us. Which it’s doing. Right now.

I'm probably missing a big piece about the sky falling on Hollywood. But that whole industry is based on illusions. It's its sole purpose to sell illusions. It's fake make-believe, and audiences are praising the best movies depicting something that isn't real. At some point AI will probably become its own genre, just like cartoons and anime. Movies with real actors may become its own genre that is made without any AI and SFX. And then there will be the mix of both which is currently the mainstream. Things are changing.

I'm only talking about entertainment. I'm really scared out of my ass about facts in news and manipulation of information in general.

Here's an AI generated action movie clip made by Google Veo 3 and its other product, Flow. The video and audio is entirely AI.

Goodbye, SAG

The future of porn looks mighty interesting...

Hmm it looks like a very expensive video game at r17, but I'm sure in 2 years, it'll be flawless.

This is a 3-minute video that shows how they are creating these videos in VEO 3 with text prompts.
