There's this wild Lovecraftian horror to a grown adult talking about how great it'll be when AI can make full-length movies and books based on a few prompts, because you suddenly realize they've only ever seen shadows dancing on the cave wall for their whole life. Nothing has meant anything to them.

They have zero interest in art, shared experience, or being surprised. Movies and books are nothing but a distraction to them. It sounds very, very sad.

i know i’ll alienate some people for this, but this is what you get when young people are fed exclusively a diet of video games. i don’t think the vast majority of gamers become violent—on the contrary i think it makes them docile.

You have to believe other people are real before art can matter to you. If everyone else is a NPC, why bother trying to understand their inner lives? There are a lot of people running around today who've never met another actual human being, whose life is just as real as theirs.

It also gives some insight into why the same folk get so furious when films are led by folk that don’t look or act like they imagine they do. This has always been about putting *themselves* and *only* what they want into the picture. Anything they can’t do that with they can’t understand.

There's a part of my brain that gets the appeal of feeding a book you love into an AI chapter by chapter and seeing the movie it makes, but also that technology would just literally fuck over *everyone*.

Enjoying a disposable superhero movie is one thing, but these are the same sort of people who scour the internet for every “theory” and spoiler they can ingest to ensure that they are never once surprised when they sit down to actually watch the movie. “Content” all the way down.

to be honest, i've seen several full length movies that MIGHT HAVE WELL have beren written by an AI with a few prompts. it doesn't take AI for humans to be lazy and produce derivative slop! also amazing how easy it is to keep watching once u invest some time into it knowing it's drech.
