It’s just slop par excellence. I’ve been watching a number of movies with my wife over Christmas. Everything is so bland, repetitive and ‘design by committee’. It goes further than merely announcing what the characters are doing (in that new wannabe Die Hard movie we hear that they are expecting a baby three times in 5 minutes), you just know there are certain metrics used for every genre of movie accounting for every minute: “if it’s an action film with no action scene in the first 10 minutes then the audience loses interest”. They are all so soulless.

And this is fine when you realise that Netflix replaces direct-to-video movies and not that of cinema, as much as they refuse to admit.

Honestly I can't blame them if current audiences have the attention span of a puppy golden retriever

The one use case I wanted to see for AI is "tunable" contexts for videos. If this is your first time, watch the whole thing but if you need less context just edit it so it skips over the obvious parts

That is actually an idea for AI in movie making that I could get behind.

I don't think it's possible yet by a very very very long shot but if it were it would be a better idea than "write your own movies".

My stories probably suck outside a captive, very young and related "audience" which is fine because I'm not script writer.

But I would pay quite a lot of money for a "get to the point" button.
