re: AI is becoming more and more photo-realistic

The fact that it isn’t real makes it soulless. Our brains tell us that. It’s not ever going to be a human giving off human emotions.
I’m in advertising. AI has made my job infinitely easier and it’s going to open up a lot more opportunities. I actually use it in commercials but very sparingly. My plan is to increase the usage for better production value. So I’m not against it, but when there’s a need for a human element with storytelling, AI can’t ever provide that even though what the actors are doing is fake. We’re already seeing a pushback for more authenticity in certain spaces.
But you are talking about AI in its current form. There will come a time where if you don’t already know its AI, you will struggle to tell the difference. (I know you know this)
The soul of a movie comes from the story and the relatability of the characters to the human experience. The actors make the story compelling, they don’t give the movie soul.

that's exactly what they do I tell you what --- have the silly robots do an AI version of There Will Be Blood and tell me what it spits out .... all full of soul because of the computer generated story.

Plenty of stories out there that the actors have not been able to make work and fallen short of connecting with any sort of audience. Also plenty of stories that don’t have the visual or budget to match the acting or other components that may be high quality
What gives it soul is the human process of bringing all those things together and even with imperfections creating something that speaks from a perspective of humanity that allows a broader audience to connect to it. No amount of tech innovation can replace or change that. Shoving a bunch of key words into an AI bot to create a shite sandwich of mashed together existing things is ever going to be able to come close to that.

That was made in 2 days by some random dude.
Imagine someone creative and with great writing having 3 months with that...
Exactly. It took ~275 people four years to make Shrek.
If one guy can do that in two days, imagine what 50 people can do in six months, much less 275 people in four years.
And then imagine what more could be done in five years from now.

Maybe for some people, but not for the general public. This board is full of movie snobs.
The general public wants a good story they can emotionally connect to. If they don’t know and cannot tell it is AI acting they will still connect with the story.
The story lived through the characters are what give a movie soul.

I feel like there are a lot of people conflating the types of AI that are and can be used to make these types of projects.
Generative AI, where you just enter prompts into a field and wait for some garbage to come out is definitely terrible and has no ability to replicate what makes a story human. It can only make cheap copies of what others have already created.
But AI as a tool that real people use to tell human stories is progressing and could open doors for people with stories to tell without the need for millions of dollars. The idea that someone could afford to make their own movie and bypass gatekeepers is exciting.
Corridor Digital made a pretty cool video with an AI tool that can already allow people to make a Toy Story type video with an iPhone and a computer. But it still requires skilled people, time and creativity.

I know you know that There Will Be Blood was written by Cormac McCarthy and not computer generated.
Nobody is advocating that the ai write the stories right now. Maybe that will happen, but right now all of it is either memes or scenes created by AI from things that have already been written by humans.

Just goes to show that nothing will ever top 30 mm film. Didn’t even feel that long ago when movies were shot in 30 mm and didn’t look like digitalized, hyper refined dogshit.

It was not. Stop using chatgpt for research.
It's an Upton Sinclair story.

Right right. I get them mixed up sometimes because they (edit: it and no country for old men) were released in theaters about the same time.
Point still remains. It was already written by a person and not AI.
