In which I can make my own movies? I don't have the technical capability but I have the interest, why would it be terrible for me to have tools at my disposal that can take my creative interests and make them a reality? I'm not suggesting all films be made like this. I just want tools that I can use, myself to make something that I would enjoy and perhaps others might enjoy as well.
There's potential, sure, but it won't make everyone into a filmmaker just like Microsoft Word didn't make everyone into an author and Photoshop didn't make everyone an artist.
You are arguing against a point no one made.
I’m all for tools to empower deliberate creation. An end to end AI generated movie, while intriguing to see what it might think up, falls flat to me. What is the point of watching it other than fascination. There is no conscious decision, direction. Merely a recycled reflection of past input.
It's fascinating to me how ~80% of the population of the atheist-dominated parts of the Internet seem to have found religion as soon as they started thinking about the implications of AI passing the Turing test in varying degrees in the present and near future.
Here's what I'd like. I have an idea for a script. I have a story line, with an arc, and a real compelling story. I have absolutely no skills for camera work, editing, directing, production, lighting, audio, any of that. So basically, without a cast, crew, and skills I can't make my idea for a film happen. This is where I'd like the assistance of tools that can help me make my film idea a reality. I don't want algorithmically generated movies with random and disconnected plot lines. i just want tools to help me achieve my goals when I don't have the tools or skills available. Isn't that what technology should be all about?
Why?
Movies to me are an art of thoughtful composure. A deliberate creation. Nothing seems more soulless and boring to me then some generated sludge born out of an AIs unconscious peephole view of the human experience.
What if I want a tool that will help me with my own creativity? I never said I wanted randomly generated AI art. I just want a tool that will help me create when I'm not a cinematographer, actor, editor, or any of those things. Why can't I have the augmented intelligence assistance I'm looking for? Not sure I understand this perspective on technology and tools.
I’m all for tools. I must of misinterpreted your post
What if it's really, really good and isn't boring, though? And feels soulful?
