I mean there's Broadway and Hamilton. People may still like human actors!

Yes but if an AI can create a movie where you can't tell if it is the real Tom Cruise or not, then what is the difference? Or are you speaking particularly of live Broadway?

Yeah kinda both! People might actually like to see a movie with the actual Tom Cruise.

But what if the fake Tom cruise movie is way better every time? And what if it could be personalized to fit EXACTLY your preferences in what you want to see in a movie? The argument is that the quality of the content is so good it drives the value of human made productions way down. I’d rather see a amazing Tom cruise movie by AI (where I can’t tell the difference and it seems totally real) than a decent Tom cruise movie with the “real” Tom cruise.

I also think we will start to see value in movies with actors that aren’t real people. I often get taken out of the immersion when I see the same 25 faces in every movie. Having realistic and compelling actors that aren’t real people could be game changing.

You'll have people that are masters of using these tools to create compelling narratives. Probably still will take a level of work most people don't want to commit to or simply like that creator's style.

why not as simple as talking to a natural language ai? In theory a child can have an AI make a beautiful film the same way a child can make Dalle-2 make a beautiful static picture. I feel like it will mostly be out of our hands

Maybe. I find my brother (he's way into all that A.I. stuff) gets much better results than what I generally see posted. So there's something to it. Understanding the nuances of the system, it's strengths and weaknesses etc, to really make the end product shine. Ya know what I mean?

Yeah I know what you mean for sure. Maybe the system will be so good at talking to us it can use anyone for great art? Eventually speaking. I agree some people will be better than others at telling it what to make and getting the best out of it. I just think the difference might not be huge. We'll see
