No, text to video will not improve writing. GPT will also not improve writing.

I can already imagine fully generated TV shows. But they're not gonna be good, they'll lack cohesive vision and smart writing. This technology will only enhance the ability to produce more garbage at ever increasing rates.

My point is mostly that there exists a ton of talented writers and people with imagination who aren’t getting a chance to actually produce movies and tv shows. (I don’t think the issue is lack of talent doesn’t exist on the planet, I think they just aren’t lifted to the highest positions in hollywood, like they used to in decades past.) Admittedly there’s gonna be a ton of garbage via gpt too.

Most people tend to over estimate how talented the average non professional writer is and dramatically under estimate how good pro writers are. Writing is very hard. The issue is not coming up with ideas either, so don't think gptX streamlining the hard work (actual writing) will make much of a difference either.

Same is true for acting, photography, directing, etc.
