This was not hard to forecast.
A couple years ago I proposed the idea that, towards the end of the decade, we would see generative AI creating most of the movies that we watch.
What will this look like?
It is going to be a matter of simply prompting what you want to see and the model will create it for you. Personalization will be the norm. You can create a film specifically for your family. The quality will be such that it is going to be impossible to separate from the human made productions.
When I made this claim, the pushback was pretty severe. Many felt this was impossible. When it comes to technology, understand the process and you see how soon we can arrive at impossible.
Does that mean we are there yet? Not even close. It is an indication of how screwed Hollywood truly is.
AI Starting To Penetrate Movie Making Business
This is going global. Moviemaking is no longer centered in one city. This is a trend that started sometime ago.
However, we are about to see it pushed to an absurd level.
Just like we have a variety of different chatbots, with people generating millions of "articles" per day, the same will happen with video.
Spain looks like it is jumping into the game in a big way:
Spain is beginning to integrate artificial intelligence into its film and television industries, attempting to position itself as a pioneer in both the creation and regulation of AI content.
The shift includes notable projects like "The Great Reset," an AI-generated feature film presented at the Berlin International Film Festival in 2025.
I looked to see if there were clips of the video, none which I came across. Thus, there is no way to judge the quality.
At this point, it is almost immaterial. Whatever the quality (or lack thereof), that will not be the case in 2-3 years. We should have learned by now that these models get better over time. Text is far outpacing images and video, simply because it is an easier media type to deal with.
The others are, nevertheless, making incredible strides.
Creativity And Human Input
Many feel that AI will never replace human creativity. This is proving to be a false narrative.
That does not mean to imply that everything will be AI generated in the future. It is likely there will still be a place for human generated content. The difference is that it will be the minority.
We can use portraits as an example. They are still painted today. At one time, that was the common form of family "pictures". When the camera came around, things changed.
Artists do all kinds of portrait painting. Yet it pales in comparison to photography (which is dominated by amateurs using their phones).
For now, AI is a tool. Basically it supplements what the humans are doing. That said, I think this will not always be the case.
There was a time when computers were a tool. Today, we see many areas where they pretty much run things. For example, the actual stock trades are done by computers. The same is true for the routing of phones calls.
We have not even reached the two year mark on the resolution of the writers and actors strikes in Hollywood. The devastation is still being felt. We see an industry in transition which means the established entities (and systems) are coming under fire.
It is pretty clear which way this is going. Human traders on the NYSE were replaced with computers. There are going to be a lot of industries that see the same thing.
