> Viewers will be able to "order up" films—for example, "I want a film about a panda and a unicorn who save the world in a rocket ship. And put Bill Murray in it."

> From there I believe viewers will be given the ability to be digitally scanned themselves, and pay extra to have themselves inserted in these custom films. You'll also start to see licensing deals made with studios, so that viewers can order up older films like "Star Wars" and put their face on Luke Skywalker's body, and their ex-wife's face on Darth Vader's body, and so on.

This is pretty far from what most people want, I think. How are you going to chat about your AI generated custom personal vendetta movie around the watercooler?

I think it could be its whole own genre.

Imagine a movie about divorce, except instead of Kramer vs Kramer it's you vs your wife, with your kids, in your city. It could elevate the human experience in a way previously unfathomable. The AI would be a sort of mix between a psychologist, lawyer, and film producer, stringing together a creation that tugs at your deepest emotional heartstrings.

Or imagine a horror where you get to slaughter your worst enemies.

Is it a Pandora's box? Certainly. But I think it's coming.

It's a red herring, only reaction videos would do that. Studios are going to double down on the current quantity over quality gambit they're running and not mention AI after this because AI tears are the first real entertaining thing to come from them in a decade. AI will not divide us.

I expect a lot more meandering miniseries MMO style where tangents for quality are pay-per-view. Mainly because if they try to starve out their audience with dither and delay tactics pirate AI will win.
