How long until we see blockbuster movies produced by a guy in his basement for <$1000?

Never. I've seen people instantly go from liking a static image to disliking it upon learning it was AI generated. The same applies to other kinds of media. No matter how "good" it is, knowing that it was created by an unfeeling algorithm ruins it for most people.

Gonna be pretty hard to pass off a whole movie as real when none of the "actors" exist.

Nothing you see on a screen is real. (And long ago, a smart guy named Plato went even further than that.)

Huh? Are you just trying to sound cryptic, or are you actually claiming that the actors in current movies are also fake?

And yes, I'm well aware of the allegory of the cave. So is everyone. What I don't understand is why it's such a popular rhetorical device with people who have no discernible point but want to sound as if they do. It's actually quite ironic.
