A speaker discussed the future role of artificial intelligence (AI) in film and television production.
AI Capabilities in Production
The speaker stated that AI would not replace human filmmakers but could enhance various aspects of production. Potential applications include:
- Improving the realism of backgrounds.
- Modifying elements like shirt colors.
- Correcting production mistakes.
- Accelerating content creation, potentially enabling two seasons of a show like "House of the Dragon" per year instead of one, leading to an increase in available content.
Personalized Content Generation
AI may also facilitate the creation of personalized entertainment. The speaker suggested a future where viewers could request custom episodes of shows, such as a 45-minute "Succession" episode for a fee of $30, with specific plotlines (e.g., Kendall acquiring the company and having an affair with Stewy). While acknowledging these AI-generated episodes might be "janky" or "weird," the technology would be capable of recognizing actors and remixing existing content.
