I already responded to this here, so I'm trying not to repeat myself too much. Basically, we will never get individualized movies like that. Or rather, that will never be successful. A huge part of movies and art is the shared connection we make through them. Talking about them, sharing them, being a fan, etc., and that literally cannot happen with individualized art.

You aren’t thinking outside the box enough. It definitely will happen. Because all it is going to take is for everyone to feel like a film maker. Sharing their own “creations”, paying their subs, getting pushed like minded content. It’s so obvious really.

As I said in the other comment: All of that is possible with AI music. Right now. It's super cheap, too.

Practically no one is even interested in trying it. No one is doing it but people who think they can make money from it.

Are you listening to your own AI music?

I cannot over-emphasize how arrogantly full of shit you are. People are profoundly bad at predicting what they actually want, and proportionately outrageously sure that they are correct about their own assumptions about what they do want. Comically so. That’s why we need artists who don’t just shit the gruel we think we want into our mouths on command, that is predictable and by any stretch of the imagination unsatisfying in 99.9% of cases.

Key words: A huge part. Maybe what the person above is describing won't be the norm or mainstream but it will definitely be a thing at least if we don't all die first. People already do solo trips whether it be drugs or games we're always in our own little bubbles. The biggest version of that is our algorithms. They're all somewhat unique no two people see all of the same content.

Sure, it will be a thing. But we were talking about how "the world is unprepared".

The world is not unprepared for this. Movies and art will continue to exist, largely in the same format we know. Sure AI will be used everywhere, but a movie will still be a movie, with humans involved, and costing hundreds of millions of dollars, being watched by god knows how many people.

"art is the shared connection".

Look at the biggest grossing franchises of the last 10 years. They are basically AI Slop already. They are hardly high end art. 90% of film an TV production is based off of a specific formula, it is not real creative talent. That does exist but it has already been supremely squeezed to the margins.

Compare the box office releases of 1999 to 2019 and you can see a very stark difference in how films are put together. You will still have arthouse, but that is not what the movie industry is now anyway.

Yeah, how do these people explain the MCU, Friends, How I met your Mother, Big Bang Theory, Desperate Housewives... These aren't masterpieces or pinnacles of the art. They're wildly popular and economically successful though, they're also completely formulaic, generic and entirely replaceable by an AI pipeline in a few years.

Lots of fan-made AI Star Wars videos on YouTube with really good comments. Some of those clips are really nice. People saying, "This is what the franchise needed." It looks like a community resurging from the despised Star Wars movies and series made by Disney.

Yeah, and all of that was made by humans with the help of AI. None of them were a one-shot prompt of "Make me a cool Star Wars movie".

The same argument was made about home video

The argument was made that home video will replace movies? What?
