This is AGI.
As with the arts, 99.9% of people can't use these models to express vision, get attention, or achieve distribution.
The game is the same as it has always been. You still need hard work, taste, something important to say, the ability to articulate it, good timing, and luck.
Nothing has changed. We can just build faster.
What this does enable is for more to be created that caters to a wider variety of interests. It disrupts existing structures of capital allocation, production, and distribution and gives new players a chance to reshape the game.
The bar will rise and people will still be running at the same pace on the treadmill. There will be more to see, but less time to see it.
I see a future here for digital advertising, for design mock-ups, for political propaganda, for robotics model training/world simulation, for fan movies, etc.
But the film industry is struggling to get eyeballs and butts in seats already; using a tool that most people inside-and-outside the industry loathe isn't the answer to fixing that.
At most, I could see it used for pre-viz/pre-production work in Hollywood.
