Media is poised to get so fucking stupid
90% of movies are already garbage, or the same recycled plots from older movies. Truly original and intriguing plots are few and far between. How much worse can it get?
We can wait and see!
You can almost always find the source for ‘truely original and intriguing plots’ being earlier media and what you think is new is just a fresh take on an old idea. Well done execution of well know stories still makes great movies.
You are right that 90% of movies are garbage, and AI will just make the process of kicking out more of the soulless garbage even easier than it currently is.
Some might even say more stupider
Apparently “The View” has writers.
Supposedly the studios are only allowed to train their AI on scripts THEY own. Not sure how much that matters if you’re a writer working for a studio, but as an outsider looking in, that seems to be what made the difference for the WGA.
Also, this tentative deal would only last up to September of 2026 so either way this deal has an expiration date. Does that mean that studios can do whatever they want with their AI after this date? How much more advanced is AI going to get in these 3 years? Do writers now have a 3 year lifespan remanining?
It means that writers will be back to negotiate (possibly for significantly better terms) in 2026 should AI become a big money maker. By then it’ll have been too late and AI will have killed the industry.
Nobody wants to watch AI generated movies or listen to AI generated music.
I want to make my own AI generated movies and I’m very interested in watching other people’s work when it starts coming out. Not everyone needs to be spoon fed their entertainment by billion dollar companies.
