Text-to-movie is probably far out. However, it doesn’t necessarily need to be designed how you’ve outlined it. Text-to-image is great but it probably won’t be used for creations that need this level of consistency.

Why limit yourself to chaotic text prompts when you could use an image, a model, an entire 3D rendering of the scene or maybe even multiple iterations of all of these. Stable Diffusion’s img-to-img is already something of a proof of concept for this. With AI generated 3D models on the way, I’d bet we’re getting closer to that. That could almost entirely fix the issues with limbs and consitency since it’d have a 3D reference of how those things should look. This might not be outright possible at the moment, but I genuinely don’t believe it’ll be hard to implement in the long term. Especially if we combine AI generation with some well-tested algorithmic approaches.

Video synthesis is still being developed but it’s important to highlight our standard of quality. Photorealistic AI generated live-action movies are still far out, but what about animated shows? Something at the level of The Last Airbender is already pretty damn close to being possible if you ask me. Other popular animation styles like anime probably wouldn’t be too far off from there. After that we might get Pixar type films and lastly I’d assume photorealistic.

Text generation that can maintain plot coherence is already demonstratable with GPT-3. It isn’t perfect but it’s already decent.

But yes, ultimately it’ll require a lot of engineering and STILL wouldn’t be full on text-to-movie. A human would still need to be involved for fine touches. That being said, the amount of work required will drop drastically, which is an important first step.

For what purpose? When pleasure is freely accessible why would you want or need new emotions? They influence your state of mind and behavior in weird ways. Unless you’d just get pleasure from experiencing new things, I don’t really see any reason for wanting more emotions rather than just expanding on what we already have. Emotions such as anger, jealousy, rage, sadness, loneliness and boredom are remnants of more primitive beings IMO, but we’re just kind of stuck with them because they were useful for our ancestors. Genuinely interested in what you have to say. I understand that emotions also play a huge role in our ability to coexist so I’m not dismissing the idea at all.
