> It enables us to reach the look and feel of a $100+ million dollar Pixar, Star Wars, or Marvel film without the budgets we could never have without insane luck or nepotism.

I can understand filmmakers wanting this, but less so audiences.

The problem is that then everything will look like Marvel or Pixar or Star Wars.

The other problem is that as audience, I now can never be sure if a detail was put somewhere intentionally by the filmmakers or if it was just a random AI addition.

I just don't agree everything will look like Marvel or Star Wars.

Everything looks like that now because the loss of DVD sales has altered the economics of movies so drastically.

These tools should ultimately empower a golden age of experimentation and unique film making.

I know for myself, I will absolutely be into this some day but it is just far too early. For me, I can see the potential of AI generated video but that is something for the 2030s. Right now it is like the digital audio workstation in 1992. It needs another decade to mature.

> everything will look like Marvel or Pixar or Star Wars.

I want to immediately push back against that notion. I cited Disney because that's what people are familiar with.

In reality, we're going to have more diversity than ever before.

These are bad examples, but they're just what I have in front of me.

"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe" is a fitting quote.

There's going to be incredible stylistic diversity.

If it's in the film, it was intentional. What you won't know is whether it was serendipity. And the fact is quite a bit of filmmaking today is already serendipity.
