All they want to do is rehash the same old stuff anyway. Might as well upgrade to a better blender to throw the scraps into. Not good for consumers, but most Hollywood stuff is barely fit in the first place. But even for a good movie, I think AI storyboarding might be more helpful than harmful.

If folks bought small cars, industry would make them plentifully.
The entertainment industry puts out lots of different stories which we never hear about since they weren’t popular. Thanks to easier & direct to consumer distribution via streaming, there is access to huge amounts of small and unusual content if you look for it… All they want to do is rehash the same old stuff anyway.

Think I’m ready for the big time now! Title: Pickles on the Loose! Genre: Comedy, Adventure Tagline: “In a world of chaos, one jar of pickles holds the secret to happiness and a whole lot of trouble.” INT. A COZY SUBURBAN KITCHEN – DAY We see the polished floors, a spotless counter, and an organized pantry. The home belongs to LARRY DILL, an affable yet slightly neurotic middle-aged man (played by Steve Martin) who t We see … Well that’s going to trigger the shit out of some wannabe screenwriting gurus.

I hope it does the same to actors and actresses when the studios all go back and AI-license John Wayne and Marylin Monroe from their money grubbin’ relatives rather than pay a dime to living stars for their likeness and voice. I wanna see these bitches going door to door selling vacuum cleaners and fresh out of time to lecture me on politics. I’m absolutely not a friend to Hollywood and the crybabies need to keep crying, I’m loving it. Bottle up your tears and send them to me, screenwriters.

Bottle up your tears and send them to me, screenwriters. it looks ok but you what it could use, hmmwhat we need here is more pickle Rick Beato has an interesting video on Autotune [youtube.com] which is worth watching. Basically it uses algorithms to correct the voice of singer so that every note they sing is perfect. Because the notes are perfect, the end result is that the song sounds somewhat robotic. They also have this for correcting the timing of the notes as well as the drum track. In doing so, they basically lose all the human elements that contribute to a song and in effect try to level the playing field between shitty singers/bands and Why would the Screen Actors Guild care who (or what) draws the storyboards? These are production planning tools that don’t even appear in the final film. I’m sure the clay model makers employed by auto manufacturers were upset when they were replaced by CAD apps. The problem that is coming down the pipe is that computers are going to be replacing exponentially more people as these kinds of tools improve. We are not prepared to adjust to the volume of displaced workers we will be seeing.

And noone went on strike to protect those jobs… that was chat gpt 3, its way better meow Explains “Everything, Everywhere All At Once” though doesn’t it…No. Drugs explain “Everything, Everywhere, All at Once.” Not that I’m complaining. Some of my favorite films were obviously the work of highly doped coke heads and marijuana smokers at the very least. Some were obviously the result of a particularly grand acid trip. EEAaO is a damn fun movie that actually has some decent messaging coursing through the crazy. I could do without the hotdog finger sex scene, but you know. If somebody’s gonna let the freak flag fly, I’ve seen far worse results.

Do I sue the bot or you or both? to watch will smith eat spaghetti while riding a pickle https://www.youtube.com/watch?… [youtube.com] AI is tough to turn into profit. One difficult trick is figuring out how to cut costs without also cutting the quality. Because when the background extras in your big budget movie have extra fingers and toes, the Internet is going to rake you over the coals in the the reviews. …three-eyed fans to the arena! I too was once a three-eye, but lost one in a fierce but victorious battle!” The article refers to Lionsgate as The studio behind the “John Wick” franchise and “Megalopolis”, but that’s really inaccurate. Megalopolis is actually an independent film financed and produced by Copolla himself, spending his own personal finances.
