    That’s exactly how capitalism works. AI is cheaper than hiring people, and any company that doesn’t take any and every opportunity to increase profits is failing at capitalism.

      so you don’t know how capitalism works

      mcdonalds is cheap and largely made by automation, in fact if it was made by automation today most people probably wouldn’t realise … but restaurants and cafes still exist

      if there is demand for organic movies with no ai then we’re going to build it

        So you don’t know how much people don’t care.

        Sure, they’ll exist. Just like how parts for old rifles are technically still being made today. But most people will never see one, nor do they care to see one. Most people don’t care about the quality of films, hence the success of a lot of the Marvel films despite rapid decreases in quality, or the Star Wars sequels. I shouldn’t need to explain why most people only seeing the shitty AI slop films is a bad thing.

          then who cares?

          this is like being sad people don’t care for Marionette shows anymore

            Fucking hell. I… really gave you too much credit, huh? “Who cares that the only films average people will see are AI trash?” Like, if you don’t get the problem here, I really don’t think I can explain it.

              Like, if you don’t get the problem here, I really don’t think I can explain it.

              tbh I might need AI to explain it to me because to me you just said: people like trash

              hence the success of a lot of the Marvel films despite rapid decreases in quality, or the Star Wars sequels.

              The part I don’t get is, what difference does it make (to you) if the trash is made by a guy using AI or made by a company?

              The main thing is that quality movie cinema goers like yourself have an organic free range no ai involved movie experience, and so long as there is enough of you out there (and there should be) then you’ll be able to enjoy your cinematography experiences while the rest of us watch slop (and ultimately isn’t this what is currently happening anyway?)

              Not only that but are you assuming that AI and computational power will never reach a point where we’ll be able to create a wide variety of films and movies that are on par with or exceed today’s movies?

              Are we assuming there will never be a movie that’s made using AI that is better than these:

              https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_films_considered_the_worst

              or the garbage that’s on TV at 3 in the morning?
