Would you watch movies that are AI generated?

[Sudacafan]

Part of a debate me and @Lleytonstation are having. I don’t mind it if it’s used for CGI or cool visuals. But fully generated actors and scripts? No thanks.

I’m taking the opposite side to @Lleytonstation, no matter what position he holds in this debate.

... except when it comes to climate change when you propagandise for the Trumpster.

That is not political, but scientific.
When was the last time you posted on tennis?

There will still be the sun, the moon, air, nature, water, birds, animals etc. You will have plenty free time to get healthy, pursue your hobbies and become more and more creative. And live much longer while still looking young.

Who’s going to stop you from learning the piano? Or travelling the world? Follow your passion? It will be a bumpy ride at first as with everything else but after that, it will be heaven on earth.

I think that in the near future many people are going to disconnect from tech. Like full on disconnect and it should be very interesting. Not like a trend but society as a whole will turn on it.

The impact of AI is unimaginable. Fifty years from now, things could look significantly different. Will there be self-driving flying cars?

I wouldn’t mind exploring space in Star Trek style and making new friends along the way.

I think the studios can't wait for the day when the idiot adult pretenders in their products can't go out on press tours and insult their customers.

It doesn't logically follow that because something is an industry it must inevitably become an 'AI-generated one', whether that be Hollywood or any other industry. Saying that's so, doesn't make it so.
Hollywood might be amenable to the use of AI as a tool - that seems perfectly plausible, but a complete transition is unlikely. And, Hollywood isn't all movies.

An appreciation of acting is an appreciation of human beings being something they are not, and doing it convincingly. Whether in the theatre, soap opera, opera or films etc
The artifice is understood and sublimated almost unconsciously - this is what most art is - something that looks like one thing, but is in fact another. By removing the human being, art cannot stand at a representational distance from that which it seeks to describe because it's no longer an engagement with a human mind. When we see Pitt and Cruise, we see their characters and the humans behind the characters, we know and hold them both simultaneously.
Use the idea of an AI generated tennis match as an analogy. The match might be fascinating in it's realistic depictions, but what makes a tennis match interesting is human prowess. The fact that we know the players have an emotional world and are human, makes them more compelling than an artificial facsimile.
The prowess of the actor is part of how we view what we see - even at an unconscious level.
There may be some attraction to entirely AI generated movies, but I think they would be understood differently, as a sub-genre of film, just as cartoons are. And judged accordingly.

It follows because industry tends to cost-cutting procedures for the sake of profit, and that kind of thing doesn't lend itself to art as much as it does to AI-generation. Regardless of personal feelings of even those in the position to make these decisions, we're going in this direction. The general motive to keep things going business as usual with the advent of technologies, leads to both quick dismissal of luddites and the imposed limits on those that seek to do more with how they use the technologies. I agree as do many that, AI-generation excess is a lower form of attraction, but I think it's an insult itself to what we are compelled to take in as humans. Hollywood has been pitching that this is inevitable with industry, most futuristic movies often still have the same economic models that have led to this predicament. The world will end before industry does seems to be the hope of AI companies and Hollywood alike

Oh, they are free to show everyone how stupid they are. But I am sure the studios putting movies costing hundreds of millions of dollars don't want the idiot adult pretenders to alienate 50% of the audience. For example, Snow Woke lost $170 million because their star couldn't shut up. She in fact told everyone that if they voted a certain way in the 2024 election that she didn't need their business. Unfortunately for Disney, they did need their business.

That's what I am already doing.

It was 50%. It's now closer to 25%.
