I said it, didn't I? I predicted this exact thing, and I explained why. I said that AI art is slop not because the art is bad, but because it lacks a detailed mental model of the audience and what they want. And I said that AI art would cease to slop the moment it was controllable enough to faithfully implement a human's artistic vision. Well, here we are. This is AI as the paintbrush, not the artist. This is the future of stories. Power. Precision. Insight. The hybrid of machine and man. Some people say we're going to democratize Hollywood. But they are wrong. We are going to liberate it. Because democracy is when you need the permission of a million suburban soccer moms to build a power plant. Liberty is when you can just do things.
