In 2030 I'll type in "movie about XYZ", GPT-7 comes up with the script, it crunches in the Disney+ cloud for a few hours, and later I sign on to watch the full generated movie?
probably not going to be mainstream for feature length movies, but could be a good tool for prototyping movie ideas and let target groups watch the demo reel very, very early on in the concept phase.
Why use a target group? when you can run a regression model on what hits the nerve for people, using data that's being collected now. :)
Then it'll be ML models creating movies for other models to be validated and et voila, you get a super hit movie.
I like the way you think ;) But 'taste' will be really difficult to model for a long-long time.
Why even bother releasing it at that point? The humans won't appreciate the majesty of what was produced. I say send them off to camps.
