> but it can't make movies. To me this appears to be a very time-dependent assertion. 5 years ago, AI couldn't generate a good movie frame. 2 years ago, AI couldn't generate a good shot, but now in 2025, AI can generate a not-too-shabby scene. If capabilities continue improving at this rate (e.g. as they have with AI being able to generate full musical albums), I wouldn't bet against AI being able to generate a decent feature film in the next decade. It might take longer until it's the sort of thing that we'd present in festivals, but I just don't a clear barrier any more. Looking at it from another perspective, if an AI driven task currently requires "an expert in the loop" to navigate things by offering the appropriate prompts, evaluating and iterating on the AI generated content, then there's nothing clear to stop us from training the next generation of AI to include that expert's competency. Taking it into full extrapolation mode, the thing that current generation AIs really don't have is the human experience that leads to a creative drive, but once we have robotic agents among us, these would arguably be able start gathering "experiences" that they could then mine to write and produce "their own" stories.
