You know what? Make a new hollywood with real writers and real actors, lets see how long an AI trained on stale old stuff is going to be at creating a cohesive story with genuine emotion.

I understand what bard, chatgpt, the image one can do but these are not going to break new frontiers anytime soon - the free market will sort it out im tired or the same old shit regurgitated in new formats because fucking execs are too scared to try anything new.

Uncanny vally is going to make this fun.

They’ll take ‘saving money’ up front over the fear of creeping out an audience and losing more money in the long run. The producers wasn’t fiction. it was a documentary.

As an indie writer/producer, shit is hard to get made and distributed. It is expensive af, kind of like weddings. Once you mention film, the price shoots through the roof. Even daily insurance on a film set is 800/day on the lower end, not including stunts. And after Rust, if you’ve got real guns on set, good luck even getting insurance (work comp specifically).

FYI: even real guns are called prop guns on set
