Show me a movie in the last decade where the premise of it couldn't be generated by some AI prompt.
(I'll even make it easier by stating that said AI prompt can be generic and to some degree trivial; i.e. not the premise explicitly laid out in the prompt).
Parasite, The Substance, Uncut Gems, mother!, Krisha, Tangerine, and The Lighthouse are some movies from the last decade that are novel in ways beyond their premises.
No generic prompts to an LLM could create those movies, even if it could spit out a vague 2 sentence premise that matches them.
Note that I’m not saying it could never happen, but LLMs as we have them in 2024 produce regurgitated slop, and require significant creative input from the prompter to make anything artistically interesting.

"Oh but you can't compare a paragraph to a whole movie script!"
Sure, just apply the same procedure recursively, stop at a depth where you're satisfied, see [2].
Bear in mind I've only spent like 10 minutes and a negligible amount of money. Now imagine you have a year and a budget of 10MUSD to come up with the best movie script you can create with the help of AI.
It really is only a matter of time ...

I urge you to compare this to the translation[1] of the shooting script of Portrait of a Lady on fire:
1. STUDIO PARIS-INT-DAY
A blank page. A feminine hand draws a black line, the first
stroke of a drawing. Another blank page. And a new female
hand, which starts a new line. This action is repeated
several times, coinciding with the credits.
WOMAN'S VOICE
First my contours. My silhouette.
The silhouette takes shape as we move from frame to frame and
the sketch of the figure comes to life under the strokes of a
pencil.
A large room pierced with skylights. An artist's studio. It’s
Paris in 1780. Eight young girls between 13 and 18 years old
are sitting on stools that are nearly obscured by the
fullness of their dresses. They are bent over their drawing
boards, which serve them as support. The faces of the young
girls are focused. Their eyes oscillate between their drawing
and the horizon.
show me an AI prompt that can generate a movie premise in the last decade where the underlying model hasn't already been trained on that movie's plot.
