> It's not long before we can feed that script to one of the AI engines and tell it to make a Lynch movie out of it. This is both, I suspect, literally true and substantively false: it will not ne long until you can ask for that and get something recognizable as audiovisual output. It will, OTOH, be long before you can do that and get anything that would satisfy anyone as a movie worth watching, and even longer if you want something satisfying to anyone with a reason for including Lynch in the prompt other than that he was a specific filmmaker who the model might recognize and do something with.

I think soonish we'll get to clips that look Lynchian so that an average person might recognize it as such. Kind of like DALL-E can emulate styles and people might say "aha, looks like it was painted by such and such". But with a full movie, not sure, will the true fans accept it as anything connected to Lynch? Probably never, and will even hate it with a passion... But then there are fan edits of Dune, for instance: https://fanedit.org/dune-1984-the-alternative-edition-redux-special-1080p-edition https://fanedit.org/dune-1984-the-alternative-edition-redux-.... Ok what if the edits were made by the AI? I can see accepting that. Next step is what if it's not a pure cut, but maybe it corrected a few scenes which looked odd, or the character wasn't fitting it gets spliced out of the move altogether, I really don't know, I might like that I suppose.

  I just want simple things, like transforming the stop-motion shots in Terminator 1 to motion shots. I don't want upscale or anything, just light touches. It's the only thing in the movie which doesn't look gorgeous.
