Very cool use of technology. That type of usage won't put too many people out of a job.

 

Watch out if/when they come out with  movies featuring an all AI-generated cast.

But THAT would mean plenty of jobs for those who would learn how to master AI and make movies on their own without the permission of Hollywood.

One of the beauties of Creativity is it allows you to see infinite positive possibilities from most situations.

YouTube & SoundCloud & Spotify are flooded with music because people have access to the technology. Less than 1% of those artists & musicians are actually making money.

 

AI will allow anybody to produce a movie. That doesn't mean they'll get paid.

What of the great things about American style Capitalism is that you get to CONTROL the flow of your own goods and services.

If you put out a movie....and don't get paid for it...don't put out another one until or unless you do.
The same goes for music or any other product.

The main driver of capitalism is those who have access to the most money (capital) always have the advantage & benefit from the technology.

 

Capitalists will be using AI &/or any technology to enrich themselves & drive the average person closer to the poor house.

That being the case.....
There are HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of Black Capitalists in the United States, each probably with net worths of over $5 million.
What they CHOOSE to do with their capital is what makes a difference.

If they CHOOSE to waste it in clothes, entertainment, and lawsuits that result from them engaging in juvenile behavior RATHER THAN investing their capital into not only the technology that already exists but into discovering even better technology for the future.....it's their choice.

You had millions of bums, drug addicts, and losers living on the streets BEFORE the advent of AI and no doubt you're going to have millions of them for a time period AFTER.

This is from back in the 30s..........

Some scenes clearly show the body doubles of both Oliver and Stanley together.
What was it called back then before the age of "Artificial Intelligence"???

In that Friday comparison.....
It's interesting how most of the women seem to look better NOW than they did 30 years ago...lol.

Most women don't like showing their age.
