The movie industry is going to dwindle in size and power over the next decade. Look at the crappy AI apps that can generate 'movies' available now, look at what unreal engine 5 can do, look at what ChatGPT can do...in 5 - 10 years, we will be able to give a prompt and have photorealistic movies/tv episodes generated, which will satisfy the vast majority of people.

I really don't think private puppet shows, as visually impressive as they could get, would be engaging. The point of a good story is in no small part the surprise and the transformation in world view it is capable of delivering.

  Fine it will be hobbyists/moonlighting creators on streaming platforms delivering a heavy dose of 20 second to 30 minute AI generated content. Basically where we are today except it will just get more and more engaging as the tools become more accessible/powerful.

    This weird assumption that what amounts to just a competent chatbot will somehow "be good" at everything at some point in the future is just starting to sound like faith based argument to me.

  AI can already write scripts that match bottom of the barrel entertainment like the fast and the furious movies. The resultant content will absolutely be engaging for the majority of the population, and it can absolutely contain surprise and transformation while delivering a world view.

    These are very strong and unwarranted convictions. Did you watch never ending seinfeld? I know "the AI will keep getting better". I guess we'll see about that.

      I mean, not really convictions at all, just reasonable inferences based on current technology and where it's trending. Can we generate photorealistic CGI? Yes. Is that likely to become more common and able to be generated on an average to high end home PC instead of needing a farm of GPUs? I believe so. Can AI currently write scenes and dialogue that, while janky, isn't always bad? Yes. Is that likely to substantially improve over the next decade? Also yes. What do you get if you combine them, hmm? > I know "the AI will keep getting better". I guess we'll see about that. You say I have strong and unwarranted convictions, but I would say instead this seems like unwarranted and unreasonable skepticism.
