It's interesting how so many of the big names who out of the blue started vocally supporting AI as "the future" tend to be 60+ or people who are not fully informed on how it works, or people who lean towards the business/corporate element instead of creativity, or rich enough to have been convinced to invest in this industry that is currently bleeding money (see: isaiprofitable.com). Or any combo of these.
Also funny how they mostly sound like cult proselytisers parroting the exact 4-5 phrases without nuance. "It's the future, it's inevitable, bad things will happen to you if you ignore it, repent now!" And using apples vs. oranges comparisons like "it's like preferring riding a horse to having a car." Replacing a horse with a car benefits the consumer, replacing the human element with generative AI benefits the pockets of upper management. And having movies produced faster by removing the creative process is what has caused current audiences to reject most new releases.
If you believe that this technology, with its immense harm to the environment and small local communities, which was built on the mass theft of people's intellectual labour, and has already started costing more than hiring a human in many cases, is the future, or that new tech that is criticised always eventually succeeds, then I have a 3D TV and 5 NFTs to sell you.
