A lot of early cuts of movies and other media are really hot junk, plot doesn't make sense, forgettable events or characters, lots of cruft and junk scenes, confusing dialogue, imagery doesn't make sense, etc. You would be surprised at how a seasoned producer can turn a pile of disconnected footage and have the actors rerecord some dialog after the fact and then turn it into an entirely different, much better film.
I bet GPT-4 and others can easily make an early cut movie. Nothing great, but just a collection of scenes that someone who actually has some taste can piece together into a completed work. That sort of work is obviously scary for the industry where you have writers rooms developing this sort of stuff. Imagine it going from all the animators and writers required to write the Simpsons every week into just an automatic script where Matt Groening does some quick editing before it goes out. That would mean a huge reduction of jobs especially at the early career level. On top of that, how would you even become another Matt Groening caliber producer in that environment? The entire context of how the senior talent got their talent has been made obsolete, so once they are gone there's no one to fill the shoes quite the same way.
