This is amazing.
We are at the precipice of someone releasing a $100M blockbuster movie just based on the language in the script with zero cost beyond compute.
What will this mean for the future of entertainment…

Kermit in Debby Does Dallas. Kermit in the Graduate. Kermit with 2 broken flippers. Oh the depravity. I'm not sure getting high quality visualizations of any random passing thought is a good idea ;-)
Just imagine how much lonelier the world is going to feel when people don't even have entertainment in common anymore.
But I would also love to see the perfect show for a combination of people, like my loved ones, so we can watch together.
And lastly, I would love to see the perfect show for a large majority of the population, because there is something special about a shared experience like Game of Thrones or Friends. To this day I can shout “pivooooot” and most everyone gets it.
On the other hand, I feel like this will ultimately be kinda like traditional procgen algorithms: once you've seen enough of what it produces it all starts feeling very bland and same-y. Sure, the AI may be able to produce a feature-length movie based on the input "What if Nicolas cage had played The Terminator and Aaron Sorkin wrote the script?", but somehow none of it would be surprising or interesting to you, it would lack the novelty and playfulness of a good human creative work, and it likely would be very shallow in its themes.
On the gripping hand though, perhaps in achieving that level of sophistication we inadvertently create something more alive and aware than we intended and instead of merely trying to produce satisfactory results it actually attempts to express itself in ways that resonate with us.
Simply tune the parameters associated with novelty and playfulness and you’ll get the desired result.
There’s nothing inherent in human creativity that can’t be replicated by an AI. Most creative work is derivative and remix’s prior art.
This is a good short video on the phenomenon of remixing https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=MZ2GuvUWaP8
I didn't say otherwise, I'm just skeptical the hypothetical system in question would be sophisticated enough to produce it in faster-than-human time scales.
Nah, you should be able to add “…but with some novelty and playfulness” to the prompt.
You can't handle the future! We live in a world that has time machines, and those time machines have to be manned by robots! Who's gonna do it? You?
