> I think it will be commonplace to virtually walk around in movie scenes turned into 3d scenery by AI by the end of next year.

I would take the opposite bet, I doubt most movies have complete enough 3D scene to be AI enhanced, let alone something good enough to walk around, you wouldn't model what you won't film after all and nobody wants to see hallucinated aliens in middle earth.

No, AI will generate the 3d scene just by looking at the 2d footage.

It can fill in the blanks (i.e. provide textures for areas that are invisible in the film).

It will make a chuffing good effort but fail hilariously in >99% of cases but then people will parade the fraction that make sense.
