something AI will never take or understand: emotions and improvisation. So a movie without emotions is unwatchable. The best movies are filled with a mix of very complex emotions. AI cant do that
AI can’t do that…yet. With all the data we are feeding these companies, there is no doubt that AI will be able to replicate these emotions you are talking about. Maybe not this year, but within the next decade quite likely.
I have worked in Hollywood at places like Dreamworks and Digital Domain for 20 years. While AI is impressive and unfortunately will wipe out stock footage in the next few years, what I see from a production standpoint to make lets say a Pixar type movie, isn't yet even on the horizon. Do we even know if those animated bits are textured CG models, or some 2d manipulation? How long did it take to generate those few seconds? I have been a part of many things like this over the years, and when it finally gets in the hands of the artists, you see how little it works and the stuff shown in demos were the cherry picked few that actually worked. But just like your analogy of how far up the pipeline can we continue to lose jobs, as a narrative filmmaker myself, where is the limits of AI ability. In 5-10 years, would an executive just tell an AI terminal to make a scifi movie, a romantic comedy, and the AI just spits it out done? It would write the scripts, create the AI actors, etc etc. Then in 5-10 years after that, would the executive tell the AI make 10 movies, and that is the only prompt needed to create all of them, from start to finish. Its a fascinating and worrisome time to be alive.
No need for the executive then. A viewer himself would type a prompt and watch a movie:) But it likely will devaluate the whole movie watching experience
You have very good points. I’m an in-house videographer for a great business and ever since I sore MKBHD video I haven’t stoped thinking about whether AI could at some point take over my job. But like you say at 9:28 capturing real people will always be needed. So I can sleep soundly tonight 😴
AI could be a game changer in restoring old films, for example, making this work much faster and cheaper. And there are still so many films to be re-released, lost in archives around the world...
Pretty much how cell phones were the end of photographers 10 years ago and we're still waiting for that to happen. No, AI will not replace humans as filmmakers, because we want the real thing. Can we use it as inspiration for certain scenes? Yes we can. But by the end of the day, no. And I would brand my stuff as real world footage.
Your points about the market demand for real images persisting may be undermined by the fact that soon trust in any image, moving or still, may evaporate. The default mindset will shift from 'that's probably real' to 'that's probably fake' because the only way to protect yourself from fraud and deception in a world of AI generated images and videos is to assume everything is fake until somehow proven ortherwise. The real threat this technology might pose to artists and film makers may not be that it replaces them directly but that it devalues their craft and trust in their craft to the point where that craft simply has no value.
@@JonathanPalfrey Then the Sonys, Nikons and Canons should be worried about losing customers. Or maybe put out a camera you can talk to and tell what kind of result you want when shooting.

@@darrylloke3296exactly 👀
@@darrylloke3296 if think emotions are data clusters so you don't understand what emotion is.

Finally a good take on the situation, great video
Nah, no time soon. Keep filmmaking boys
Plot twist: this video is fake, completely generated by AI.
All those dusted scripts which otherwise wouldn’t see the screen

Need to abandon AI period.... This will not work out well for the human race....
And they know it too…and don’t care
Totally agree unfortunately but corporate greed will never abandon it
Do we want a reality where an AI will think up and create content that will be ”watched” by an another AI. 😂
haha I sometimes think that's already true!

Ahh. The bliss of denial.
