The use of AI in movie production is going to crater the market entirely. Why is a person going to pay big bucks to see something they could make themselves with a few prompts. We are going to wind up with all human made certifications at some point. It's just getting stupid. It makes sense for Perry to hold off a minute honestly tho if I were them I would buy property to hold just in case anyway.
Let's leave aside the fact that everything produced today by so-called AI is absolute dogshit. Let's pretend it produces things that it's asked to produce. Even in this version, where's the pleasure in watching a story you've just created with prompts? The point of story is to be taken on a ride by somebody else - ideally someone you trust to give you a satisfying ride and not waste your time.
If we're assuming AI successfully produces what it is asked to produce, simply having the execution of the story done by the AI might be enough to entertain the user. Additionally, they can use it to then entertain others, where those others feel like they're taking a ride on the prompt writers story.
However, I can't imagine such a story having the depth needed to really entertain the same way that a movie would. Additionally, anyone that isn't looking for depth might not be bothered to write a prompt. Unless it's possible to generate hours of video from a single prompt.
It will be enough to entertain the idiots who lack media literacy, and for the studios, that'll be enough. There's no meaning or subtext behind LLMs or Sora. It'll just be trained to mindlessly copy the pop culture it's fed.
