My personal experience with AI is that most of the gen AI companies have offered me buckets of money (house money!) to publicly endorse their tools and claim they are central to my creativity (have turned them all down).
What's interesting is that there are SO many people who are hyped about these tools who should be getting the bag instead of me. So all I can gather is that these companies are throwing money around to control the story about who their tools are for. Seems like they'll pay anything to have non-AI folks endorse the AI tools.

Seth Rogen is correct.
Seth Rogen says if you use AI to write your stories or scripts, then you “shouldn’t be a writer”:
“Every time I see a video on Instagram that’s like, ‘Hollywood is cooked,’ what follows is the most stupid dog sh*t I’ve ever seen in my life. And if your instinct is to use AI and not go through that process. You shouldn’t be a writer. Because you’re not writing.”

VFX breakdown rules are weird.
MI7 pushed “practical” but released CGI breakdowns to get VFX Oscar and got nominated.
MI8 had similar CGI but hid it to keep the “practical” angle and got ignored.
Predator Badlands released breakdowns, but had to blur talent

Some clarification here: "no green screen" doesn’t mean "no VFX”.
There were, in fact, thousands of VFX shots in the film (2018!)
Green screen is sometimes used in lieu of building sets or figuring out locations/lighting in advance, which can be noticeable if not done carefully, and is something we didn’t want to do. We built the entire interior of the Hail Mary ship - but within the ship, there were still wire and puppeteer removals and ceiling replacements, etc. When Ryan is outside on the hull of the ship, we shot him in front of a black background for space and a shifting hue background when he was up against the aurora of a planet which allowed for truer interactive light on him than a green screen would. The wide space exteriors and spaceship shots were entirely digital and beautifully done by ILM. Rocky was a seamless blend of puppetry and animation from Framestore. And other great work from many more. It really does take a village and we had the best of the best on our side.

Easy money doesn’t exist for more than a moment. If people charge regular rates for ai content, their margins would be insane and would instantly be undercut.
Overnight their margins would go to zero
AI ads are about to cause the biggest wave of easy money the internet has ever seen
for the first time in history, a solo creator with a laptop can go head-to-head with global brands - because creativity is the new leverage, not budget
the winners won’t be the corporations with 20-person agencies, but people who know how to tell a story that hijacks attention in 1 second and never lets go
right now the ads that print are basically mini-movies - weird characters, fast cuts, aggressive pacing, plot twists in 15 seconds
and yet most marketers are still pumping out the same dead “here’s the product” content like it’s 2019
AI gives you the chance to make something so bizarre, emotional, or chaotic that people have no choice but to stop scrolling
like, rt + reply with 'VAULT' and i'll send you the vault with best ai shots + prompts that you can copy (must follow so i can dm)
Amazing! Technology has progressed a ton during this time but most rigging tools we have now aren't very different from this.
How I actually make my videos ;) Mocap w/ @hellorokoko Animated using the Smartsuit Pro II

A lot of people thought it was Gen AI so I had to make a VFX breakdown @squidgame @netflix #squidgame #vfx #blender3d
