I wonder whether this could be an area where Google has a huge head start on everyone else. They've literally got images of millions of city streets around the world at ground level for the Street View feature of Maps. And they're not exactly lacking in AI talent. If anyone is able to generate realistic CGI models automatically, it would be them.
I could see them offering Hollywood a service that would allow production assistants to scout locations in Maps and then, after choosing one, get back detailed CGI models which allow all filming to happen on a green screen for a fraction of the current cost of filming on location.
