The aspiration is to replace the movie industry. That's a lot of demand.

As a movie consumer I am not interested in AI movies. You don't get to just keep the existing market and switch to AI. You are creating a new market of AI video consumers and hoping it's big enough.

I see this as an extension of the Netflix model: content for people who aren’t actually watching the movie

Why spend the effort making a show for people on their phones? Will they even notice if it’s slop?

But demand from whom? I feel like the biggest moneymakers in that industry are explicitly anti-AI.

General business stuff like content or images has demand from across the economy. “Replace Hollywood” is kind of a niche thing.
