The most around content creation is eroding. We’re seeing many small AI videos become viral, and the length of some of them are reaching 5-10min. What happens when anyone can write a script and have a feature length movie or 12 episode season.

Vibing a movie will be possible, but people also won’t pay money for watching that. It will be great for script writers to be able to make an MVP of their movie first, and someone will still need to produce this into an actual movie.

  >Vibing a movie will be possible, people also won’t pay money for watching that Youtube, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok all beg to differ. AI slop farms are making bank over there, especially on short form content aimed at little kids. They get hundreds of millions of views, earning more than what Disney/WB makes on some of their high budget garbage movies in cinema.

    Disney/WB regularly make hundreds of millions of USD on their high budget movies. A view is worth less than $1. How are the AI slop farms making all that money?

      >Disney/WB regularly make hundreds of millions of USD on their high budget movies. Not when they loose hundreds of millions. Snow White just lost Disney about 150 million. >A view is worth less than $1. Yes, and they get hundreds of million of views and failures don't cast anything since they don't need to keep cinemas open.

    Oh I meant pay money as in, pay per view or cinema.

      If you're a business trying to making money at all costs, and the money comes from advertisers instead of directly from viewers, will your wallet complain?

        But it doesn't change the consumer's spending power. I haven't changed my movie consumption habit just because I watch youtube videos. It's free content.

        Your fiction consumptions?

        Ah thanks, yes my consumption of fiction.

        >But it doesn't change the consumer's spending power. I haven't changed my movie consumption habit just because I watch youtube videos. I think you're misunderstanding. Consumers don't need to spend money directly, for AI slop farms on Youtube or TikTok to make money, since advertisers pay for the views they get on their videos, not you. IT's not all about YOU, YOU are probably not the targe audience, but they do make money even if YOU don't watch that stuff.

  Why would I pay money for a movie when I can just create my own from a few prompts, perhaps at the cost of watching a few ads?
  - SketchySeaBeast 1y ago
    You know, I can't see myself doing that with a movie. That would be the ultimate expression of the mindless action flick, and those have stopped appealing to me. I think about all the movies I've really enjoyed that had some friction in viewing - either because it was a genre I didn't normally like or I just didn't have any interest in viewing. All that would be gone. But ooooh boy, would porn change. Maybe that would be the end of pornography, the perfect wish fulfillment making it no longer enjoyably.
