Is that why Jake Paul is famous? Your statement lacks credence.
Reality TV isn't my cup of tea either, but are you going to say it isn't a successful genre?

I don't even know what this means. If it was within the US, and someone was selling it, you could definitely go after it. If it's outside the US, especially from China or Russia, I already couldn't go after them so I'm not sure what the difference would be?

Okay? Less money going into the economy. Just ask Georgia how much they've benefitted financially for incentivizing shows and movies to be made there.
The amount of money doesn't change because movies exist. Money will get spent regardless, just in different places.

It's not "amazing". Yes, it will likely change the industry, but not in a positive way. Imagine a world where the next John Williams or Hans Zimmer is slinging fries because everyone thought AI music was "just as good." Consider that as well - movies won't be the only thing that gets pushed aside by corporations wanting to not have to pay people. Music is definitely on that list as well.
The technology is definitely amazing. The atom bomb is amazing. Just because it's destructive doesn't mean it isn't amazing. You're getting super upset. I imagine you're close to TV industry and you know you might not have a job much longer.

This is a weird take considering your opinion is based on the actions and opinions of maybe a percentage of a percentage. SAG has over 170,000 registered members - and you're wanting them all to lose their jobs because of a few dozen got in front of people at an awards show and said things you didn't like?
How many of those SAG members make all their money from the industry? A ton hold down other jobs to act. They won't be losing the bulk of their income.

Do you apply this level of "scorched earth" to every profession? Do you think every waiter should be fired because one was rude to you? Every mechanic let go because screwed up the repair on your car?
There's a big difference there, and you know it. The restaurant and mechanic industry isn't controlled by 5 major studios.

I’m honestly looking forward to a Star Wars trilogy based on the Timothy Zahn Heir to the Empire storyline.
Also, we’re going to get DC/Marvel crossovers, James Bond period films, and Indiana Jones adventures.
There’s going to be a lot of crap, but there’s already a lot of crap. Might as well get to see things I want without conglomerates making asinine decisions.

You said "good" would rise to the top; the fact that reality TV has been successful is not a positive spin on your argument.

You implied that IP battles are lost causes; my point is that's a step closer to your personal image no longer being that, including your kids'.

That's... not how that works. Data centers don't produce as many jobs as a full movie production, and movie productions require a much more diverse set of skills.

Well, that makes obliterating the entire industry worth it.

I work in IT and have a much better understanding of the failings of AI than you do. Nice try though... C-.

That still doesn't justify putting hundreds of thousands of people out of work just because you have a mad-on for the major studios.

That looks more akin to a Bollywood movie in terms of effects.

It's getting there. That Coke commercial with all of the snow and semi-Coke trucks was AI.
I've seen photoreal animations that would take me a week or two just to model and rig in 3d that AI does in a few minutes. It will take over media as soon as they overcome the "herding cats" problem with consistency and continuity.
The old production model of development, financing and distribution will be replaced by development, AI and directly to streaming.

See thats what I'm expecting as time goes on. Almost all the crap people are saying about AI not being as good as a human director and actors is silly. First, there will be a lot of crap obviousy, but theres also a lot of crappy tv shows and local plays most people don't watch either. When you get good, talented people, which I think at this point is just a few months away, you'd be able to produce a move in a few days that would have taken months on a budget of less than 1k vs 300 million. And guess what? People will want to watch it if you capture their attention.
None of the people worried about losing their jobs actually care about progress, they only want to complain because it affects them. No one in their right mind would want to keep around people from the equestrian industry at the advent of cars just because they feel bad that they lost their jobs. The future is here. Quit fighting it, you'll only get yourself behind. Pivot now in the new industry and get ahead of the curve so you can be one of the ones who will have a job in entertainment in the future.

Oh God you people are insufferable. AI isn't progress? We've literally been talking about this in Sci Fi circles for almost 100 years. We've been progressing toward this period for a long time. Sorry it caught you off guard.

Tell him. This is how we win and return Hollywood over to like minded patriots.

So all those people with jobs in natural gas and coal should STFU when a nuclear plant or solar farm is built nearby?

What point are you trying to make, exactly?

Sometimes, sure.
When AI is used to discover cancer cells years earlier, or determining the optimal way to plan streets to prevent accidents, or to locate missing people.
Everyone, though, applies it to art and moves simply because they hate the people making it. Because it was a lot easier to let someone else learn the skills, then someone else write the code to learn from those people, instead of putting in any of the work themselves. AI isn’t some godsend to free Hollywood from wokeness; it is the ultimate form of fat, lazy, soulless creation. A world where great composers and incredible cinematographers are never seen again.
Political ideologies are cyclical. We happen to live in a time where awareness are turned up to 11 but eventually it will reach an equilibrium. When that time comes will you be happy you destroyed the industry because someone made movies you didn’t like?
Or ask yourself this… would you be okay if AI had taken over 50 years ago?

That your argument is fricking dumb.
More efficient, cheaper technologies come along all the time. It’s the same thing with AI just to a much higher degree. Are we all supposed to forego a cheaper more efficient energy source because there’s still coal and people can mine it and have jobs?
The thing about AI it seems people don’t understand is it’s here and progressing at breakneck speed. I realize some of you would like the government to put regulations on it so people can keep their jobs, but do you think China is going to do that as well? Whatever country decides to do that is screwing themselves over.
When China is sending their kung fu robots over here to beat our asses and turn us into AI food, I hope you can be satisfied in your moral victory that we didn’t put Hollywood out of their jobs
