"This journey is just beginning and we would much rather see new forms of cinema than Memes and recycled pastiches."
If we expect AI to put in the creative effort, this is what we are going to get. If instead we use AI to complement our human creativity, we could be talking about an interesting collaboration.
Based on a few underwhelming AI cinematic attempts on YouTube, most people say:
"yes, but AI will never _______ "
My response remains "wait until somebody with taste gets a hold of it", now enter James Cameron.
Being a creative most of my life, when this technology first started to emerge I was certainly on the anti AI fence, and if I'm being honest, my soul remains there, but I know what the future holds.
There's absolutely no stopping this technology, so why not get better at it and use it as another canvas for artistic expression... well.... at least until it "eats us!" ::>_<::
Your position is totally relatable. I think I may be there. I've recently been shifting my expectations about how Gen AI will impact media. It may have less impact in traditional forms (movies, television) and more impact in new forms.
…there is no escaping it so we must embrace a d make use of it…the depressing neverending bell of new technology gongs again…i have begun to ooze and settle into these facts begrudgingly, and do appreciate those seeing it as just another tool…if i ignore all the environmental damage caused by it…and the wake of unemployed artists made by it…then there in the black heart of whatever i might make something of it…on the non grumpy side i enjoy those who are saying find something new inside of it…even if the bread is made of bread we might shape it with interest…plugging my nose and going in…

I discussed this in a recent post based on the work of Basque philosopher Daniel Innerarity: https://writerbytechnicality.substack.com/p/do-it-for-the-machines.

We got hit by the Hurricane, so will save this for later... like that first cold beer...
I am glad to be compared to a cold beer. There's no better compliment. Thanks.
