Sketch out a three film proposal for a trilogy of movies about how Hollywood is corrupted by its own hubris and greed, becomes convinced that it can use AI to replace human writers and actors, and eventually collapses and is replaced by a new and better movie making paradigm.

Title: "The Rise and Fall of Illusion"

Film 1: "Hubris Unleashed" Synopsis: In the first installment, Hollywood executives, driven by their insatiable greed and arrogance, become convinced that AI technology can revolutionize filmmaking. They start replacing human writers and actors with AI-generated content, leading to initial success and critical acclaim. However, cracks begin to appear as creative stagnation sets in, and audiences grow disillusioned with the soulless productions. The film ends with the industry at its zenith, but teetering on the brink of its own downfall due to its hubris.

Film 2: "The Age of Artificiality" Synopsis: As Hollywood doubles down on AI-driven filmmaking, tensions escalate between those clinging to the old ways and those embracing the new paradigm. The struggle intensifies as AI-generated content becomes increasingly indistinguishable from human creativity, blurring the lines between reality and illusion. Amidst mounting controversies and ethical dilemmas, the industry faces its greatest existential crisis yet, with the very essence of storytelling at stake.

Film 3: "Rebirth of Authenticity" Synopsis: In the final chapter, Hollywood reaches its breaking point as the flaws of its AI-driven model are exposed in a spectacular fashion. A grassroots movement emerges, championing human creativity and authenticity over artificial perfection. Against all odds, a group of renegade filmmakers and actors lead a revolution, reclaiming the industry from the grips of technology and corporate greed. As the dust settles, a new era of filmmaking dawns, one that celebrates the human spirit and embraces diversity of voices and ideas. The trilogy concludes with hope for a brighter future where artistry triumphs over algorithms, and the magic of cinema lives on.

ChatGPT has this weird tendency to finish every output with some grand sounding moral conclusion. This is so cringe you can't parody it.

I can't wait to sip on some Hubris Haze with my bros, the Hubris Heroes.

I like the cut of your jib.

Don't. Praise. The Machine.

It'll make everything on Hollywood look and feel even more the same I'm afraid. That place is really becoming the McDonald's of movies. It's not haute cuisine or even pretending to be unique but the process is basically set in stone, reasonably cheap and you know exactly what your going to get.

I'll wait until it hits YouTube and some people get really creative with it.

It’ll mean all the movies are in the public domain as soon as they are released, since you can’t copyright AI work.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

You currently cannot copyright their direct output but you can copyright the product you make with it.

A pure AI image isn't copyrightable, but modifying it to a point or making a comic book out of those images is okay.

Personally I'm looking forward to the Indy scene that will come with these tools more than how Hollywood uses it. Hollywood is already dead, they just don't realize it.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago

Somebody actually made a comic book with AI images and the copyright got rejected on the art (held up on the words though). So maybe if you modify the images quite a bit, but not if you just put them in comic book form.

no, it won't

his face is soooooooo weird

I wouldn’t normally make fun of someone’s looks, but this guy is a boat anchor on humanity. There’s enough cheek there for three orangutans

[–] [email protected] 17 points 9 months ago (1 children)

you do make fun of peoples looks you just don't want to feel bad about it

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I said not normally, meaning yes I do (and just did), but in this case I do not feel bad because Sam Altman plainly sucks ass and deserves to cry for his numerous blights on humanity.

What is the point you’re making?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

My point is it's really not a difficult principle to adhere to and you simply don't do it. That's your right but you're coping about it

I can say that I hate that guy and I also hate it when people resort to playground insults. That's my piece

Marvel writing already could've been done by AI

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Well I liked spider verse movies. It was awesome and hope they don't butcher it with AI for their next movie.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I am with you, those are exceptions for me in the marvel universe but true they were great movies

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

the production and music was so brilliant, metro really did a good job on the latter.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Using AI may result in movies that are nothing but older movies cut up and rehashed with a shiny new coat of paint. So you'll barely notice a difference.
