These are not movies, these are clips. The stock photo/clip industry is surely worried about this, and probably will sue because 100% these models were trained on their work. If this technology ever makes movies, it'll be exactly like all the texts, images and music these models create: an average of everything ever created, so incredibly mediocre.

I imagine a movie maker where you say "use model A and put them in scene 32f, add a crowd and zoom in on A. They should look very worried." Then they can just play with it. Then save a scene, onto the next. Since AI can continue an animation, I don't see why it can't faithfully recreate given models with more development

What'll happen in both industries is the same that will happen everywhere else: adopt or die. The huge winners will be those that creatively use this new tool without 100% relying on it to do everything.

There have been several AI short film festivals, as well as several AI music videos that have been produced. The caveats are that quality varies, the best ones simply employ solid production in general (good editing, strong directorial vision, etc), and I don't know that anything feature length is out or even in the works.

the problem is that these stock footage companies are up against the richest corporations to ever exist. Legal recourse will take a monumental amount of money and time.

Hate to say this, but as things stand, tech companies stand to become all pervasive and all powerful if AI keeps growing the way it has
