So the truth here is that the reason they're doing this is because they aren't yet good enough to sell to Hollywood. Not to say that Hollywood isn't using deep learning[0], but there's typically a combination of classical tools and deep learning tools. But these companies all seem to have an aversion to traditional tools and appear to want to be deep learning all the way down. This is a weird tactic and the fact that people are funding such companies is baffling. I can't even imagine a future where you don't want traditional tools, even if ML could do 99%. Hell, even 100%. Language is pretty lossy and experts are still going to want to make fine grain edits.
