How long before AI makes movies?

This montage of Dark Souls AI art stylized as an 80s dark fantasy movie just gave me existential crisis.

We have AI that writes stories, and AI that generates pictures.

How long before we get them combined?

And more important than that, how long before we get them combined in a way that the AI that generates pictures is consistent?

And even more important than that, how long before it can do all of that very well?

Hmm, a full ~90 minute movie with a human as a "co-pilot?" I think that will be 2024.

Text to video will be really complicated, but I'm hopeful that there will be a breakthrough just like with neural radiance fields. There should be a way to train a massive model on still images, and then tweak it to support video.

Probably 2024 too, if we're very lenient with the definition of "not terrible." It'd at least be good enough for Netflix lol.

Actually something that you'd be glad you watched? 2025. Since iteration speeds are so fast, you can have humans seep through a lot of trash in order to find what's worth sharing. It's just like AI art and text today where a finely crafted prompt can make something incredible.
