- majormajor 3y agoIf you really want to start minimizing the contributions of people, only the writers matter? Without a story you'd just have shiny demos and people running around. There's a long-running arms race around presentation of storytelling, and to date it's resulted in more jobs. But make no mistake: the people holding the production wallets are interested in stripping down all those jobs: writing, acting, CGI, etc. Hopefully it ends up looking more like "better tools enabling people to do more and more visually-compelling things while remaining a thriving industry" than "suit in an office reviews a million AI-generated story concepts and then pushes buttons to turn them into videos cloning today's styles."
