What exactly do you want people to be doing? The sense I get from your posts is that your ideal society is one where employment is either trading stocks or working 23 hours in a warehouse, with time off spent beating up refugees and watching movies made by plagiarizing robots. What a miserable vision for society!

I'm not sure if it will but if the job market gets bad enough a NIT would be reasonable . Jobs that can be done by AI should be done by AI not sure whats special about human labor making art*. Almost all artists already learn from other works of art as well. Arguably speaking AI art is good for the poor. Now they can create any works of art for no or minimal cost to suit their design needs.

*human art is still better but I believe moores law will apply here and AI art will catch up in a few years.
AI will NEVER be able to produce emo music as good as humans, because AI doesn't have emotions.

I looked into this a little more and the problem here is the exact same one that plagues all other generative AI. Once you get past the initial shock of a "creative" computer, you realize it looks like sh-t and is not something anyone would ever pay money to consume.

These AI videos are barely passable as stock footage and even then they're still off-putting enough to be undesirable. If Hollywood uses this technology for a movie and then charges people money to see it, it'll be a huge scandal and a legendary embarrassment.

All these talentless nerds that want to see art replaced by computers are missing the key component to these stories. Hollywood isn't interested in this technology because it's going to help them make quality movies for a fraction of the cost, they're interested in it because they're desperate. This is a last resort after they did seemingly everything in their power to destroy their own industry over the past 15 years. Any film made in collaboration with OpenAI is going to look much more like the Google black Nazis fiasco than it will anything resembling a watchable movie.
Here's a great example. I actually found out about these via a guy on YouTube complaining about them so it's kind of the Streisand Effect, but he's absolutely correct:








These are almost entirely AI-generated, aside from some editing to give some motion to the stills, from the script to the imagery, in fact even the idea behind them is, the founder of this company who previously made how to videos on how to use computer systems says he got the idea from a ChatGPT generated list of potential YouTube viral videos with one being "Star Wars directed by Wes Anderson."

The thing is...these are just such surface level parodies. They're almost like Freidberg and Seltzer-level at times. Like it's easy to parody Wes Anderson's visual style because it's so distinctive, the way he does symmetrical shots, his color schemes, and top down shots of inanimate objects. But all this does is take some shots in that style from the works being parodied, and even tries to shoehorn it in clumsily with those bits of a character listing off objects they'll need with top down shots...when does any trailer ever do this? For that matter the narration (written by ChatGPT) not only sounds unnatural, it's pretty weird for any trailer parody now to be such narration heavy considering trailers have barely used narration for over a decade now*. Also I would think "Wes Anderson directs Star Wars/The Lord of the Rings/Avatar" as a concept would be set in an alternate universe where he was the first director to tackle these films, not him doing a remake which the narration clearly touts these as.

Also as the initial video complaint pointed out, the titles aren't very Wes Anderson-esque at all. Most of his films are just named after where they're set: The Grand Budapest Hotel, The Darljeen Limited, Asteroid City, etc.

*actually a lot do have narration, but from a character in the movie's dialogue clips used as voiceover. So not like this at all.
