re: The changing landscape of Hollywood in the AI and anti-woke worlds

You kinda defined rap there.

Almost every great story ever written is inspired by a story from before

not necessarily. Many great stories are written from personal experiences that were never put to paper. Also, the writer's own personality and character inform those stories. It is an overlay added to the story itself.
AI could never know the experience of, say, Oscar Wilde, who's experience as a gay man in the late 1800s in Ireland and England certainly informed some of his creations. Or Ken Kesey, who was high on LSD when he wrote One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest. And how about Phillip K. Dick? A futurist who only drew on his imagination for what the future holds. He wrote Minority Report in 1956, for God's sake.

Video games make more money than the movie and music industry combined. AI has already won.

I am tempted starting that thread on the gaming board

They have released an AI demo of Doom and Minecraft recreated with AI. There is no game engine, the world is being created as you play it. Everyone's play through would be different. Even a person playing the game a 2nd time through would be different than the first.

Rockstar is not leading this, but my hope is they are the first to fully embrace it. Releasing Red Dead 3 or GTA VII with an AI engine would be the most amazing experience. Considering GTA VII will not release for another 10 years, I would 100% expect that to be the case.

I would counter that argument, AI dwarfs those. AI has access to the totality of all human knowledge and stories. That is something no human can replicate. As we get closer to level 5 AI with reasoners and agents, AI itself will be able to weave a story from its imagination. Will it be equally fascinating, that is to be determined.

By the way, good discussion...

It has been interesting hearing everyone's thoughts.

quote:

You will unlikely see any studio or production company promote a film that was written via AI in the next decade or longer. First off it’s hard to write a script that doesn’t sound artificial and robotic as a human being … It takes a special skill and emotional level to write a good script. And what working Director or Actor is going to participate in a project that has a AI generated script? If anything certain writers and directors may use AI as a tool, but it will be behind the scenes and due to copyright and creative integrity will never be disclosed.

Hollywood will fight this with all they have. It is the hill they will die on, as once here will erode any power and influence they have.

It will begin in the shadows and overseas first. You will start to see homegrown shows and almost feature length movies on Youtube like services. As mentioned earlier, in the US, it will be the porn industry that first implements it openly.

AI has the ability to digest every good script ever written, it will understand the emotions. Human emotions are being trained into the models now with the chatbots all over the place. It is cataloging how to interact with humans and what makes them react.

Level 2 reasoners are happening now. That is going to give AI problem solving on the level of a doctorate degree without the access to external tools.

I do not think this starts moving until actors and writers are replaced. You will find directors and producers to move it forward. Directors and editors will be the last to get replaced, and may never. Those are the actual artist anyways, not actors and writers
