Is this the end of Hollywood?

[Owen Lucas]

Open AI's text-to-video service SORA can make real life videos that many think will replace Hollywood.

The Screen Actors Guild must feel a little redundant right now.

YouTube has already taken some of the wind out of Tinseltown's sails by allowing the general public to become famous just by posting videos filmed on an iPhone. Millionaires and celebrities have been created without the blessing of Hollywood gatekeepers. Soon, you will be able to create a movie just by typing a few paragraphs.

No need for millions of dollars in movie equipment, props, sets, and best of all...actors!

Maybe they can do the same with NFL?

No, the end of Hollywood was streaming services that create their own content. It's a miracle that movie theaters are still in business.

This, however, will be the death of expensive CGI houses.

I've just started messing around with AI image generation. It's not as easy as some think but once you get the feel of it, it becomes very easy. I don't think it AI generation in film will replace anything but it'll 100% work with it. It will still require something to create the "models/ver" and lots of colorful words.

I like that house. I won't live in a house unless there are a lot of pleats. Nobody wants torn walls.

AI can be anything…..

AI and Video game acting sucks. Nice try skynet you can't fool me yet, I think!

 

[Jeep_Riot]

I hope every actor/actress gets fired and has to wash cars for a living. Same goes for politicians.

It will only work if people are willing to pay for it. I for one would rather watch a movie with real people and go to the theater. If this becomes the new norm I won’t be participating.

The New York Times is suing the AI industry. I believe they will win their lawsuit. You can't just go out and scrape the internet for all its content then use that content to feed your AI model for free. It violates fair use.

When they win, everyone that ever made content for anything will sue every AI company, and it will end up in the Supreme Court. We shall see what happens then.

But the same philosophy applies to the movie business. You can't scrape a million copyrighted videos then use that as the base training to create an AI video for free. Or maybe you can, in which case all new unique thought will end.

Why the New York Times' AI Copyright Lawsuit Will Be Tricky to Defend

There are a variety of lawsuits against AI companies, but the NYT case is not “more of the same” because it throws interesting new arguments into the mix.

Call me crazy. Wife and I always enjoy watching movies in the comfort of our home with properly set up equipment. We watch maybe more movies than any TV series. Our time limited to maybe 3 hours in an evening is the only time the TV is on.

Over the last several years the movies coming out of Hollywood seem to be now an insignificant amount compared to what we watch.
The majority seem to be from the E/U, Asia and Canada. We REALLY have been enjoying overseas stuff.
Funny thing is many times American actors are in overseas movies too but I could care less if they are or not.
I hate to say it at the expense of annoying some but I could care less about Hollywood anymore. Their high and mighty personalities have lost me forever. There are many great actors/talent/directors around the world and streaming opened that door.

This. Good riddance. Now to get AI into creating professional sports games and we can shelve those Prima Donna platformers too.

Hollywood hasn’t been making many original movies lately. They just keep remaking the same superhero films which I never got into but it must be what makes money. When was the last time a good comedy came out? Hopefully AI has a sense of humor and can write a good, funny movie.

I agree, foreign films seem way more plausible. I really can't stand anything Hollywood for the last 10 years, its completely unbelievable. I am not talking even action - even Drama. Not even an attempt to make it realistic. I do like the 30 year old movies - maybe its generational.

My family used to like going to the theatre. It was more an outing than the movie. We don't have enough room for a dedicated theatre space so that might be part of it.

The expression is, "I couldn't care less". Even Weird Al points this out.

When they went to video over film is when I got turned off.

You are so correct! Maybe my NY slang? thanks for the reminder

Original thought in Hollyweird died long ago.

Preoccupation with Hollywood? Resentment of those who seem so well insulated?

Things have changed over the years. NY, Toronto, Mexico, Europe et. al. are production locals.
Hollywood makes sequels of 'action movies' for other markets, I've heard.
Even TV is made with international distribution in mind. It isn't 1935 anymore.

Communicate with other consumers and patronize good films.
