If you spend enough time online to have come across this humble blog, it has probably already come to your attention that the Interweb is now awash in trailers for movies that have not been made, and which are therefore not coming to a theater (or anything else) anywhere near you--in cases, oodles and oodles of trailers for a single concept, the long-stuck-in-development-hell Gal Gadot-starring Cleopatra movie (which, if it does get made as we are again being told is the case, will probably look nothing like any of the trailers).
Given how fast the development of "generative Artificial Intelligence" seems to be moving (the extreme opposite of the slowness to put AI to any sort of practical, real-world use, like satisfactorily drive a vehicle through a city street, or even tidy your home), I wonder how long it will be before those playing around with the programs in these ways graduate from trailers to short movies and even full-length movies. (Indeed, some enterprising individuals may already be working on figuring out how to string together lots and lots of short AI-generated movies to form one coherent full-length movie.)
I wonder, too, how long it will be before Hollywood starts to regard this as a real competitor--and the studios which have made the creatives they so despise knuckle under to their participation in the training of such software find that the development of that software has put not just the writers and actors and set designers out of business, but the studios themselves as they find themselves superfluous in a media world awash in digitally conjured cinema.
