IMO, AI is still not there, but getting better quickly, and I'm excited about how it is going to unlock so much creative talent held back by an expensive system that requires a lot of labor to create content. I know someone who has been trying to raise money for a while to create a movie he wrote a script for. He's registered it with SAG-AFTRA. He's put on dinners. He's worked tirelessly to pull it together. He is an unknown quantity with a couple of roles in movies but no track record of making movies. I keep watching the progress, counting down the days until I can feed his script into a tool and show him a version of his vision come to life. I don't doubt he'd still rather do it with human talent the old school way, but, like tens of millions of other people on earth who have a creative vision and aren't named Bezos, Musk, or Gates, he may never succeed in raising, and I think some version of those visions becoming a reality is better than none. It's also like watching people who understand the problems in an industry work on tech tools by vibe coding solutions.

It's not there for medium or long form content, but I'm enjoying the hell out of kungfu cats, north korean gta, swole harry potter slop. Maybe my attention span too cooked, but I would enjoy a future of one-shot passion projects from 1000s of amateur creators. I'd also rather deal with Asian microshows where you get 100x5m episodes dropped everyday. Frankly hollywood lost moving from 20 episode per year seasons to 8 episodes every other year. Life's too short for current model, for content creators and consumers.
