I really doubt you’d be able to have the fine grained control that most high end creatives want with any of these diffusion models, let alone the ability to convey specific emotions. At that point, we’d have reached some kind of AI singularity and the disruption would be everywhere not just in the creative sphere

There's no doubt that it's only a matter of time. Like bloggers had the opportunity to compete with newspapers, the ability to generate videos will allow to compete with movies/marvel/netflix/disney & company. Eventually, only high quality content will justify the need to pay for a ticket or a subscription, and there's going to be a lot of free content to watch, with 1000x more people able to publish their ideas, as many have been doing with code on github for a while now, disrupting the concept of closed source code.

  You’re conflating the ability to make things for the masses and being able to automatically generate it. Film production is already commoditized and anyone can make high end content. Being able to automatically create that is a different argument than what you posit.

    I don't think this matters, new movies and TV shows already have to compete with a huge amount of old content, some of it amazing. Just like a new painting or professional photo has to compete with the billions of images already existing on the web. Generative models for video and image are not going to change the fact we already can't keep up.

I disagree. It's a rudimentary features of all these models to take a concept picture and refine it. It won't be like the director would give a prompt and get a feature length movie, it will be more like the director uses MS Paint (as in a common software for non tech people) to make a scene outline and directs AI to make a stylish and animated version of that. Something is wrong? just erase it and try again. Dalle2 had this interface from the get go. The models just haven't gotten there yet.

  Try again and do what? How are you directing the shot? How do you erase an emotion? How do you erase and redo inner turmoil when delivering a performance?

    You tell it, "do it all over again, now with less inner turmoil". Not joking, that's all it's going to take. There are also a few diffusion based speech generators that handle all sounds, inflections and styles, they are going to come in handy for tweaking turmoil levels.

      Yep! "Restyle that last scene, showing different mixtures of fear/concern/excitement on male lead's face. Try to evoke a little of Harrison Ford's expressions in his famous roles. Render me 20 alternate treatments." [5 minutes later] «Here are the 20 alternate takes you requested for ranking.» "OK, combine take #7 up to the glance back, with #13 thereafter." «Done.»
