I just came across a website that offered a $500 course on AI filmmaking and claims a 10-year old made an amazing animated film. I must admit, it struck a chord with me that was uncomfortable. On one side I was curious and on another I didn't want to explore it and it seems like snake oil. However it's here and there's no getting it back in the AI box. Curious to know what others think of this.

That's really interesting. I'm right there with you - not sure what to make of all of these developments in AI. Curious to see how this goes.

Interesting, Tripp Mills! On one hand, there's concerns generally, of what the young is exposed too. On the other, concerns of holding back creativity!

The problem with AI generated content is the IP , who owns it? No one. Therefore as creatives our IP ( intellectual property) is what gives value and worth. Disney is worth $360billion through IP, all those characters created and made into films, cartoons, stickers, books, even printed on duvet covers all generate revenue. So who makes the money out of AI ?

Well, I am animating a screenplay that I wrote, and I voice acted in, and hired other voice actors to act in. I have no artistic ability, so I used AI to draw the characters and animation backgrounds (so it looked like the movie in my head when I was writing the screenplay). I read the decision handed down by the court, and they said that if the art was arranged in a way that showed creativity on the part of the human, it was copyrightable. I think animation would count as "arrangement.". Besides, if a movie producer can own a movie that other people (directors/writers/actors/film crew) worked on for years, I don't know why a screenwriter/producer couldn't own/copyright a film that he/she wrote and produced him or herself. Especially if we were the ones who directed the AI to create AI characters and AI "sets" to look and sound like what we were thinking when we wrote the screenplay.

Dive in is my perspective. It ain't going away. We must embrace it, deal with it, or get left behind by that 10-year old.
