    “Absolutely Terrifying”

    Really? Did he watch the same video I saw on that page? That b-roll was really bad.

    I get that it’ll only get better, but generative AI models will never understand filmmaking techniques because it can’t. That’s not how these models are built.

    It can create a city skyline and pan right, but it’ll never know why a pan right in that scene was appropriate or how the lighting fits in with the rest of the scene. It’ll never come up with new ways of “filming” a scene, because it’s all built on what already exists. There’s no style to generative AI.

      Yes. It is a new tool for vfx artists and not a replacement. If they can deliver higher quality for less money, you’d expect them to be more in demand.

      “Never” is a big word, but it’s really not clear how one would train an AI to know what it should generate. See the hubbub about diversity in google’s image generator. I see no theoretical problems, but in practice it’s just not going to happen any time soon.
