Un-real. A look at the future......I mean present.

AI generated "entertainment" ....coming soon to a life near you.

Hollywood has always been about make believe. It's only now that they have the means to make up the entire process. Eliminating the catering bill alone makes it worthwhile!

Long before AI, CGI had already ruined many movies for me.

I don’t think people in Hollywood understand just how much of an existential threat AI is to their industry.

It’s not just actors and writers that are at risk. It’s the movie studios themselves. Pretty soon, everyone will be able to produce their own movies from their desktop PCs. We’re not decades away from that. We’re only a few years away from that.

Hollywood studios and producers will fade away into oblivion just like carriage makers and switchboard operators.

And then it'll be sports events, with an endless supply of exciting plays and a dramatic finish every time.

I don't think it will be that dramatic. There are still stories to develop, scripts to write, marketing to be done, and contracts to be written. While AI may some day be emulate humanity accurately enough to develop a compelling storyline, that is more than a few years away. In the mean time, Hollywood will adapt and figure out how to regulate AI in a way that allows them to monetize the technology to their benefit.

People have been saying that technology will kill this business or that job for 50 years. Has yet to happen enmasse. People always adapt.

I agree people will adapt. But technology has killed lots of jobs and will continue to kill lots of jobs. Switchboard operators is just one example. But technology also creates new jobs.

Why deal with human personalities? Maybe just a 'performer' and some backup 'people'. AI stays 'young' forever, doesn't get sick days, and can 'perform' anywhere... even in multiple locations in multiple languages, and can be adapted to your personalized preferences.

AI doesn't get pulled over driving drunk, have props go wrong, and AI certainly would never throw White Parties.


As a human musician personally... yeah, the BUSINESS will win (and will continue to direct the market for their benefit). jmho

This notion that only Hollywood will have access to AI tools that can produce movies is false. These AI tools will be available to everyone. Lots of sharp folks will generate movies from the comfort of their own home. And it will quickly spread to ordinary folks after that.

Same thing goes for music. Pretty soon, you’ll be able to say:

Please generate a new Beatles album just like Rubber Soul. And that’s exactly what you’re going to get. It will be as good or better.

This is coming sooner than you think, especially with the ever increasing speed and processing power of the chips coming out.

Hollywood is just not going to be needed. People will generate their own movies.

They know.

But lots of people don’t know how it will affect their own work/industries as well.

Here is the scenario. In the not too distant future, you’ll be able to instruct AI as follows:

Please generate a vintage 1960s James Bond movie starring Sean Connery and Raquel Welch.
Plot: A rogue nuclear scientist from Russia plots to destroy the world. He blackmails all countries for $1 billion. Bond saves the day.

AI will then produce a movie that equals or is better than any Bond movie from that era.

By the way, sorry about the plot not being that creative, but you get the point….

Huge savings versus real humans, plus no risk in loss of life. Looks like the music biz computerization is now all Hollywood.

Yup, different times Michael.

I remember being in the studio and seeing / using the just-arrived Linn. Of course the introduction of MIDI (and Atari 400). Kinda was obvious the flaws, and how to work within the limitations... but the gauntlet was thrown and drum machines versus humans....

The early 1980s automated console...

Meh... Music, video... the BUSINESS will do what's best for *their* interests imho.

PS: It'll be interesting see how video producers slowly eliminate humans as music producers have successfully done within the music biz.

PPS: AA / NA gigs... omg you had me LOL as it's been decades since.... Oh yeah, and all the coffee you care to drink.

Yep. It does raise questions about the processing power needed for AI. They seem to have achieved high performance results without advanced chips from North America.

But I think the markets over-reacted. I’m loading up on more NVDA stock. When it gets back to the 140 to 145 range, I’m reducing my position by half to mitigate further risk.

The Simpsons vs Seinfeld (or any other sitcom) - technology has already allowed Hollywood to keep characters young forever.
