“In two years this jug of milk I left out at room temperature will be so good no one will care or not that it isn’t real milk!”
If this comes true, it’s because nobody will be watching movies at all anymore, because all aspects of them will be terrible AI slop by that point.
Disagree, I care. I don’t want to watch AI ‘actors’
You know it is funny, AI people seem to say all the time “Remember when people said CGI would ruin movies and tv shows? No one cares now!” which mystifies me because conversations about how awesome live-action movies are with practical effects are super common among film nerds I have found?
CGI can be cool but like… yes people complain about the ways in which it allows cinema to be cheapened all of the time? That isn’t a good defense of AI?
I wouldn’t consider myself a film nerd, but I can enjoy a good movie with CGI done well. At the same time, I would agree I prefer practical effects over CGI most of the time, it just looks ‘cooler’ to me.
My statement was more specific to inclusion of actors that are AI, which I hope doesn’t become a thing.
Avatar and Avatar 2 are in the top 3 of box-office successes.
Yes, some people care.
But if you want to make a box-office success, it is irrelevant. People will rush to see a ‘good’ CG movie and will probably rush to see a ‘good’ AI movie. “Hey, this one has Sean Connery and Harrison Ford in the Marvel Universe!”
Disagreeing with Kassovitz from an artistic point of view makes sense, but from a business perspective, sadly, he is probably right.
“In two years this jug of milk I left out at room temperature will be so good no one will care or not that it isn’t real milk!”
Kassovitch is French. This argument in invalid. You are describing an extra-affiné slice of Comté!
Kassovitch is French
Any cure for that?
Yeah, because no one will care enough to watch the movies anymore.
“Show me the Battle of Endor from the point of view of Admiral Ackbar. Full tactical view on my second screen and with Scarlett Johanson as his second in command”
I guess when movie generation becomes affordable, what we may “buy”, “consume” or exchange will be the narratives.
I believe that artists’ vision will become more valuable, not less. Of course, Tech bros don’t understand art or artists, which is why they chase automation like some sort of holy grail.
I’m holding on to my DVDs and Blu-rays for as long as i can. Soon that will be the only way to escape the slop.
Yarrrrr
