On the other hand, it might mean that someone who doesn't have access to Hollywood money and social circles can produce a high-quality film (eventually, as tech matures).

Nobody complains that CAD put all those poor draftsmen and drafting-table companies out of work, they all just build more stuff faster now.

I'm only playing devil's advocate... in reality I'm just as skeptical as the rest of you.

I guess it depends on whether this current wave of AI becomes a better tool (like CAD), or a human-replacer (like autolooms).

I personally would LOVE to use advanced AI as a tool to write software, and I see this as the more likely scenario, at least for software workers. Our jobs aren't actually about writing code, but about formalizing processes, creating abstractions (at the organization level), working and communicating with stakeholders, and finally writing code. A naive manager won't be capable of using an AI coder directly to solve business problems, but more than likely will have to adapt to become more technical to use them, or coders will have to become more business-savvy. I see this "technical product manager" becoming an extremely important position moving forward.
