You Shouldn't Be Able to Profit From AI-Prompted Movies
www.hollywoodreporter.com: The unofficial Silicon Valley motto of “move fast and break things” may be an inspirational rallying cry for innovation, but it cannot apply to the fabric of society itself. It is high time our legislative bodies acknowledge the danger of that motivation and respond in kind, as we are in the midst of an unparalleled technological revolution.

The article goes in depth about certain loopholes that have already been found by companies justifying the copywriting of their product generated by AI, but the article also makes the point that the only way that a computer is able to make that product is from the creative work of actual human artists.
This reminds me a lot of the theatre I worked at this summer. It was a rotating rep theatre in which the scenic designer was the technical director – this was in an effort to cut costs. Since this person was not typically a designer, she openly used AI software to design all four of the sets.
I contacted my undergrad advisor about this because I was outraged, and showed her pictures of one of the sets. She said it was pretty good, but only because the machine probably has millions of pictures to pull from to create a set for this very popular Shakespeare play.
What this all stems from is a general lack of understanding of the point that this article makes at the very beginning. Art is not a product, it’s a process. There is no vulnerability in this AI generated slop. There’s no human.
