As a seasoned gamer with over two decades under my belt, I’ve witnessed the evolution of technology transform industries like never before. From the early days of Pong to the intricate worlds of today’s AAA titles, I’ve seen the power of creativity and innovation shape the landscape of entertainment.
AI applications are revolutionizing sectors such as healthcare, finance, retail, education, among others. However, there’s a question about whether the movie industry needs to fret about AI taking over. Actor Ben Affleck expresses reassurance, suggesting that artificial intelligence is unlikely to supplant films.
In various films such as I, Robot, Ex Machina, The Matrix, and others, artificial intelligence is often portrayed as a danger. Is it possible that the fictional universe depicted in these movies could someday mirror reality? However, Ben Affleck, speaking at the CNBC Delivering Alpha investor summit, expressed confidence that AI will not pose a threat to the realm of movie-making.
Affleck remarked that among all things, movies might be among the last to be surpassed by artificial intelligence. While AI can compose convincing poems that mimic Elizabethan style, it is not capable of writing works like those of Shakespeare.
There was increasing apprehension during the WGA Writer’s Strike about AI impacting screenplays and whether this could lead to job loss for human screenwriters. However, as Ben Affleck pointed out, AI cannot create an original screenplay since it can only replicate what humans are already capable of producing. Given their success in writing Good Will Hunting, Affleck appears to grasp the high hurdles and challenges faced by up-and-coming industry professionals when it comes to making a movie.
The AI is going to streamline or handle the more tedious, less artistic, and expensive parts of filmmaking. This will result in reduced costs, making it accessible for a wider range of creators, thereby amplifying diverse voices and making it simpler for aspiring filmmakers like those who made ‘Good Will Hunting’ to produce their work.
Ben Affleck believes that artificial intelligence will function more like an apprentice, learning from existing works rather than inventing entirely novel creations.
Examples of AI-generated movies
AI’s involvement in recent films has sparked a good deal of debate, with some social media users expressing criticism over the use of AI-generated artwork in productions like “Late Night With the Devil” and “Civil War”.
As an enthusiast, I must admit that we haven’t seen a full-length feature film entirely generated by AI yet. However, the horizon is already brimming with possibilities as filmmakers are leveraging AI tools in their creative process. For example, the short film “The Safe Zone” utilized ChatGPT to draft its script and compile a director’s shot list. It’s an exciting time to be a part of this evolving cinematic landscape!
Over the hot summer months, I stumbled upon an extraordinary production titled Next Stop Paris, streamed exclusively on TCLtv+. As a gamer, it was fascinating to witness the debut of a short film entirely AI-generated. The narrative unfolds around a woman and a man who cross paths on a train bound for the City of Love, Paris. Although human voice actors lent their talents to the project, and an original script was used, it was AI tools that breathed life into the visuals.
The upcoming film “Next Stop Paris” could mark the debut of AI-generated movies, and it’s likely that we might witness more such productions in the future. It’s intriguing to speculate about how this emerging trend might shape the movie industry as a whole.
