Hollywood is realizing what can be done with A.I.
Actors/actresses and large studio stage buildings will go the way of the Dodo bird and buggy whip.
Personally I’m looking forward to the new John Wayne movie once the rights to use his persona are agreed to by his estate.
Will be great to see so many of the Old Hollywood greats again.
Cagney, Bogart, Flynn etc..
But then I remember this is Holyweird and probably screw it up. But then again no. All that is needed is the first AI movie with a bygone great to be a big success. Then the estates of past greats will be clamoring to get on the band wagon. We may see a second “Golden Age” of Hollywood.
As with music, it’s the composing and screenwriting that can be done with AI.
I am not convinced that you could ever do a movie or music generated by AI, that you couldn’t tell was done by AI. Therefore actors and musicians won’t go away.
But it’s the creative parts that will go away, like the songwriting and scriptwriting.
And here’s the thing. You can actually cover your tracks so that nobody will know you generated it with AI, you can easily run an LLM on your laptop, disconnected from the Internet, so you can destroy any evidence you used AI tools.
