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.

"Never" is quite short-sighted.

Most people would use these tools for personal use, if nothing else. Seeing a celebrity, themselves, their friends, etc., act out any scenario they can think of is quite an appealing proposition. And porn, of course, for better or worse.

In the long-term, this has the potential to significantly change how media is created and consumed. Feature films produced by large studios will undoubtedly continue to exist, and they will also leverage the technology, but it's not difficult to imagine a new branch of personalized media becoming popular. The tools are practically already there; they just need to become more accessible, and slightly better.

Man, am I ever getting tired of replying to the same irrelevant points over and over again.

> Most people would use these tools for personal use

Not what we're talking about. Not "personalized media", not large studios "leveraging the technology", not "visual effects".

See: "blockbuster movies produced by a guy in his basement for <$1000".

Nothing I said was irrelevant.

If you're unable to draw a line between the points I made and "blockbuster movies produced by a guy in his basement for <$1000", that's on you.

It's irrelevant because I never claimed that AI wouldn't be used in the way you said. You're arguing against a point I never made.

There is no line, and you never claimed there was in your original comment, so stop moving the goalposts. Vague language like "personalized media becoming popular" is not the same thing as "blockbuster movies".

Calling my answer "short-sighted" when you couldn't be bothered to read the thread or apparently even the thing I was replying to is, in fact, on you.
