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

I would love to see movies come in many different flavours. Long, short, dial up the violence, or down, etc etc.

That would probably make every such movie rated 18+, unless you limit the controls somehow and they find a way to make sure nothing too violent happens on any given setting, or pre-render every single configuration and have reviewers check them all.

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.

We should just get rid of the ratings. They’re a stupid system that hasn’t worked anyways.

Couldn't disagree more.

They're not fine-grained enough IMO - IMDB's "parent's guide" is great for detailed content information.

Similarly, with game ratings (video- and boardgames, as it happens), I appreciate them, but often they're trying to do two things, rate the game content and the gameplay. They fail often, and I buy outside the ratings, but I'm happier having them than not having any information in that space.

I wouldn't want no ratings for film/TV as that would mean I'd have to seek out spoiler-level information before finding if media was right for what I wanted to consume (or take friends/family to consume). I try my best to see little about the plot of films I'm keen to watch.

then you're missing the point of storytelling.

This was actually something that was tried with music in the early 90s, by Philips and Sony with the CD-i. The musician/producer Todd Rundgren made an album specifically for this format called "No World Order" where the songs were all broken up into "modules", so to speak, and the user could configure them however they'd like.
