If AI gets rid of brainless celebrities spouting off their pointless opinions, I’m in favor of it.
The underlying question is whether such movies will be promoted at all.
The brainless celebrities spouting off their pointless opinions -- as opposed to the ones who are smart enough to keep their mouths shut on politics and stick to discussions of the film itself, and the making of it, where they have something to offer -- are an artifact of the promotional circuit (which most actors regard as an ordeal) arranged by the studio to generate publicity.
No actors, no interviews? Maybe. Or maybe we will get simulated interviews with AI faked interviews "interviewing" AI generated "actors" for the viewing pleasure of the couch potato audience.
Such a movie is basically an animated book or op-ed. The only interview that matters would be with the author. Which is now the person who fed the prompts into his computer program.
Some books are worth reading, just as some movies are worth seeing and some music is worth listening to. But how do we ever find out about them if the public conversation breaks down?
The culture is becoming increasingly self-referential. Literature, drama, cinema, all the performing arts are ways of inducing people to step outside of themselves and engage in a shared experience.
This fellow presumably made this movie because he thought he had something to say about the situation in Iran. It looks as if he's anti-the mullahs, so good for him. But if he has something to say, and goes to the trouble of making a movie to say it, how does he attract an audience? He has to promote it.
The listen to me I’m important factor is going to become more and more laughable.
