You have really mastered this technology. My son has made independent movies with his friend. He has been the producer on a couple of films. It was amazing how much a very short, simple movie cost his friend to make. It would be wonderful to harness technical tools that would lower the cost (isn't that what happens with 8mm films?)

However, if AI did it would it really be your own???

You can make some descent films with a small budget, especially now with so many free tools available. AI is going to accelerate the process and make it way more cost effective.

However, if AI did it would it really be your own???

We could ask the same question of a film. After all, the filmmakers don't paint every individual frame by hand like "real" artists do. Instead, filmmakers use the high tech developments of photographic and video technology (including computer special effects) to capture and string together the sequence of events. This is cheating, according to the old arguments of past centuries. The images are not truly yours but belong to the ghost in the machine. This argument is no longer accepted, and soon it will be the same with those arguments regarding the merits of AI as an artistic tool. I don't think people have come to terms with this yet, but they will :)
