To quote Captain Kirk ... "Let them die."
They don't really create much of any value any longer. AI can unfortunately replace this worthless industry.
@@wombatillo- Unfortunately, our slipping standards as consumers created the worthless industry which AI can now take over.
@@Malt454 speak for yourself, I don't consume the slop
I think that was Joe Biden during the Afghanistan pullout.
He spoke in terms of mass consume, @@shamancredible8632. As much as I agree with you we are but a few - and most of us do have more years behind than ahead of us.
Well stated Paul. The sad part is "Hollywood" will blame their ultimate demise on the audience rather than accepting the fact that it was their failed ideology.
Yup... they just can't come to admit they couldn't manipulate an audience they thought they owned.
They can complain about their audience in hell.
They killed it on purpose so who cares who they blame. Less actors, more money.
AI will replace us all
One of the finest AI shirts I've ever seen Paul.👍🏼
I feel like this might be his puffy shirt episode when we look back.
I was thinking just that.
I could hardly hear him over that shirt.
I have a shirt something like it .
It’s the collar that gave it away!
As a singer songwriter of 40+ years standing I totally agree that modern, mainstream music is dull, uninspired, dross pumped out by talentless, show ponies and as such is far easier to copy with a machine, than proper music.
Meritocracy is the only defense against AI...the problem is that we live in a mediocre society.
And DEI is Anti meritocracy.
It's quite likely that in only 5 years AI will already be replacing a lot of white collar jobs. Humans are not that special and 90% of people even less so.
DEi has ruined so many fields. Nothing less than societal rot brought upon by the ludicrous belief that we're all equal.
Idiocracy....
@davido3109 well, my original response to your post was censored. I have no idea why.
I will say that meritocracy is no defense against AI. Some of the best drivers, shelf stockers, Warehouse workers, stevedores, data analysts, corporate artists in the world will see their jobs destroyed over the next 10 years.
In the 1990s, Thursday was 'Movie Night' for my wife and I. We went every week, there were matinees so it was affordable, and I can't ever remember a week where they wasn't something we were happy to see. We're talking 500+ movies over the decade!
Over the past 15 years . . . I think we've gone to the movies a total of 12 times (not counting showing of old classic films . . . which are more exciting to finally see on the big screen!). Its expensive and there is just nothing worth seeing. So sad.
I watched budget movies at a cheap community theater as late as 2017 for $2 a showing. I think it was during COVID that they shut it down. They had been so desperate to kill this place, and finally they were late on a tax payment. Closed the place in the middle of a movie and forced everyone out. Within the week the place was leveled to the ground.
"Cheap" movies now are $10. Every single one of these community theaters has been stomped flat.
You went to matinees on a Thursday?
Thanks for the support. Yes, matinees were great.
@@CallMeChato Theaters were very cheap and the only way to see a movie other than to wait for it to be on TV. Nowadays you're better off buying a DVD and lending it to friends.
Maybe the studios prefer to sell DVDs as this way they share nothing with the theaters. It's worse than greed - Hollywood seems to hate their audience. This won't end well.
@@starlit_hawser11 The theatre near me had 'regular' matinees early in the day. but then between 4:30 and 5:30 they would have an even cheaper super matinee showing before switching to regular price after 5:30. Our jobs finished at 4:30 and we lived close so first thing after work was a movie.
When Steve Jobs created iTunes, he killed music and Netflix killed the movie. I expect Steve Jobs is now turning in his grave. The moral is simple make things easier available and they will lose there value and just die. When you had to buy a CD or go to cinema, the industry thrived.
Network TV died because the lower you skew the demographic, the higher the number of those watching entertainment on cell phones or tablets. . .
Same thing with 'inclusion'. All it means is standards are lowered so low that it appeals to no one in the end. NOTHING inclusive is any good. We NEED things to be exclusive or else there isn't any quality.
AI, our greatest hope, and our greatest nightmare....
Hope how? It takes the human element out of art, and only benefits the studios that no longer have to pay for human beings so they man maximize profits.
How is A.I. hopeful?
@@White_Recluse It won't take the human element out.
@@MJanovicable Yes. It will. It already has.
@@TriarchVisgroup People exchanging ideas are superior to algorithms.
Theaters are dead. Network TV is dead.
correct. and that was before AI
And streaming is sick already as well…
Music is dead. Gaming is not far behind.
Never been easier to express yourself as an individual, and share it. All good developments, and it's only going to get better. Really nice to see all these corporations getting what's coming to them. They have an empire of dust now.
Rock music. Also dead.
Streaming is dying for the exact same reason as Network TV: Woke.
Precisely!
It blows my mind how ALL these companies rely on consumers having enough disposable income (extra money) to buy all their products & services, yet ALL these companies support politicians & policies (ideologies) that are destroying consumers ability to have extra cash to afford these companies products & services. And then these companies constantly insult the very consumers that they rely upon for their wealth. These idiots deserve to go broke. All they have to do is give consumers what we want & support politicians & policies that strengthen the economy that allows consumers to have plenty of extra cash to consume & STOP insulting the consumers. But they are either too dumb or too stubborn to figure this out.
Exactly. Just look at what's happening with Target. They raised their prices twice the rate of inflation and now they've hit the wall and their sales are plummeting and their promising to lower prices but they're not going to lower them much. Some cases they'll just put a for sale sticker with the same price on a product.
Paranoyd, you are trying to apply logic, wisdom and common sense to a problem that has totally gone off the rails. Most people have lost the ability to put two and two together. What's down the road could not concern them in the least. They want "current thing" and they want it now. I've traced the problem back to mcdonalds. We were doing just fine until one day we didn't have to wait for our chesseburgers anymore.
They have no clue that their entire industry is a luxury. Completely unneccessary and useless.
The problem with using AI for anything detail-oriented like accounting is that you have to double check its work anyway. Already there have been multiple lawyers who have filed court briefs using AI which they didn't notice had case citations to cases that didn't exist.
True enough but when you have Altman himself calling the the current models “embarrassing” and pointing out the new models are going to be in a different league then you know these defects aren’t going to be around much longer.
Well, AI is relatively new so it makes sense there'd be issues with it. Can't imagine the first cars or airplanes were fully optimized after all, over time they'll continue to improve them until they're highly reliable at which point a lot of professions could simply erase the need for human workers, even manual jobs could eventually be replaced by AI guided robots. The future is both wondrous and terrifying in every aspect.
@@YewbzeeAI is a fad which will be gone in a year and all the executives are going to prison.
Max Headroom makes some good points here.
I'm always up for a good Max Headroom call back. 👍
Let's keep the AIs busy making entertainment so they don't get any ideas about attacking us with squid robots and putting us in a simulation.
Sarah Connor ?
Unfortunately it can multitask pretty well
But what if attacking us with squid robots and seeing how we respond to simulations becomes (or already has become) entertainment?
hollywood just can't seem to compete with historic releases. So a person has to just search out films and entertainment from yesteryear, and watch away.
The new entertainment is crap.
An AI might actually do a very good job of recommending historic media to suit your tastes...
I just saw The Fall Guy and was happy to support it in a theater of maybe a total of ten people on a Friday night.
I saw that the local IMAX has maybe 20 seats sold for Furiosa right now. It shows how much visiting the cinema has dwindled in recent years.
Female action movie of an old franchise that featured Mel Gibson. A rehash of an old TV show that bears no resemblance to old TV show...and was poorly advertised.
I used to go to the theater twice a week. It was one of my favorite activities. My family too. Now I might go once every 2 or 3 years. The prices have skyrocketed and the movies being produced are hardly worth seeing. The last movie I saw in theater was SpiderMan No Way Home. I almost went and saw Dune part 1 but since I already had HBO Max I saved the money. Oh and everyone I know is the same way
I'm happy to go watch movies for the $6 senior discount. I will not go pay $12 to see a film much less $15 or $18.
I've been to the theater once since the lockdowns ended. Used to go once or twice a week for years after I retired and could go mid-day. Not even Godzilla Minus One lured me back. Plenty of things I want to see on streaming, and new stuff will get there soon enough.
@@davyboy9397When I watched the first review of The Fall Guy, I was amazed to learn that it was a romantic comedy … watched the trailer more than once, but never got the impression that it’s a romantic comedy. Yes, I absolutely agree that marketing was bad … it’s also bad to make that movie and call it a remake, there was no need to link it to the old tv show at all.
I was just at a movie night over the weekend at a friends house, and being Swiss, a lot of our Group did not grow up watching a lot of movies. So whenever we do one of these I'm almost 98% certain I'm the only one who's seem most of the movies we end up watching. One time we watch The Man With No Name Trilogy, and someone remarked on the quality of the films. They were amazed at how effective certain scenes were without any dialog, how the music enhanced the scene, how a close up of the Eyes could convey so much. I was watching a group of people in their 40s discover Cinema. They didn't go to the movies much if at all as kids, went to a lot movies in the 2000s, but that day they saw something in Film I don't think they'd seen before. I had my own Journey of Discovery in my 20s, even though I was no stranger to Classic films and I practically lived at the movie theater when I was growing up, most of what I saw was curated by my parents, so if they didn't like a certain film we never saw it. Moving to Europe and only having 3 channels in English, Turner Classic Movies became my best friend, and I saw a lot of the movies my Parents had no interest in and many more besides. I spent my 20s getting immersed in classic film, I discover Classic Hong Kong Films from the SHaw Brothers Studio (thanks to Celestial Entertainment buying their film library and putting them all out on DVD), and I discovered classic Japanese cinema, not just Kurosawa films or Godzilla films, most of which never got officially translated into English (apparently Japanese Studios are very reluctant to license these films out).
My Journey started for two reasons: 1: I was not satisfied with the majority of films showing up in theaters in my 20s. and 2: TCM was pretty much all I had to watch on TV most day :D
my interest in new stuff is rapidly declining, but I'm 52yo. I did just start watching Royal Pains, a fun mid-2000s midrange show
Same. Anything new lacks creativity and it just made for hedge funds.
Same here. I'm 64, btw
You should try the Donna Reed show, Have Gun Will travel, the Texan, Maverick, What's My Line, password, and other old shows from the late 50s early 60s.
Wonder if you meant the show Growing Pains with Alan Thicke and his TV family. Or is there a show called Royal Pains? Who stars in it?
Our son, who is an IT engineer, showed me some of the newer TH-cam channels with AI making songs, I was astonished at how good they were. In fact, some of the songs that they made up with just picking a crazy title were actually very, very funny and very good too. He told me that music will go first to AI and it will eventually replace people as it will be much cheaper to produce and also much faster. He is working on an app right now that will generate music for you based on your current favorite artists and make songs in their style that are all new for you. Crazy times.

In protest I stopped watching movies made after 2010, because I hate what the movie industry has become. The reality is that the only reason these studios remain in business is because no one is stopping watching their movies. Imagine if for a period of 2 years everyone protested and said "no more DEI in our films, we want you to focus on good storytelling!" How quickly everything would change?
"Start" with LOTR and work backwards. You'll be okay and might find a hidden gem or two.
Maverick was decent, so was "Sound of Freedom."
@@dinkmartini3236 the 3rd LOTR movie was actually the last film I watched in a theater, and will probably remain that way forever.
I enjoyed the hobbit trilogy, even if it went slightly woke in laketown.
As a Union Set Dresser in Hollywood I find your videos candid, yet utterly depressing for the prospects of my career and the future for my family
Set dressing is an underrated profession. I love what you folks have come up with on my shoots. Makes for good cut-aways. I wish you the best.
The simple fact is that I can choose to watch what I want to totally for free. And the things I choose don't lecture me, try to make me feel guilty for things that I didn't do etc.
I'm not advocating that you do this as well, but paying for a streaming service that you may watch 1 or 2 programs is not good value. Let Hollywood fall on it's sword.
BTW, it was good to see the cameo of a later day Max Headroom.
freedom of choice is what America was built on, sail the high seas i say.....
i sure as sh##t won't be wasting my money on crap lol
⛔I *_Cancelled_* my Cable TV📺 back in *2012...* and I have _Ne√er_ looked back (i.e. watched Cable 🚫)
This is the problem. We roar like lions then roll over like lambs. I haven't given so much as a dime to hollywood for many, many years. I can get any film I want from my library. Freezy Peezy.
And the irony is we the audience want AI to succeed we hate the people in Hollywood now they spent a decade treating us like garbage.
Cocktail! Yeah, that is a funny word. I just shouted it and everyone here in the waiting room is smiling. Oh, it seems the dentist will see me now.
In the near future we will be prompting AI to make any media we want.
I think it may be within 5 years tbh. Think about “AI” five years ago. Think about it last year, think about it now. RIGHT NOW people have flooded TH-cam shorts with AI made videos using royalty free music. They did it with an app and a couple sentences.
In the near future, media will be for the elite. Commoners will have BreadTube.
Stuck there with you in the 60's and 70's musicwise. Most creative period in the last 70 years, imo.
there qas Tom's of junk those decades. we just sifted it out the last 50 years
Include the early eighties.
@@nofutureproductions9242 Not really
Jethro Tull! I can't believe you mentioned Jethro Tull! Very cool Paul.
You’re thick as a brick mate
Yes, as my mother would say, "That Jethto Tull guy is sacrilegious."
Fun thing is, I was an IT columnist for 15 years, and years ago I stated that the threat for Hollywood wasn't piracy, but the rise of Unreal-like engines. I imagined that in the future people would be able to buy digital land- and cityscapes, NPC's, and the likeness of actors, and generate their own movies. Sure, there would be a lot of junk around, but *SOME* of these garage moviemakers would hit it big. Analog to Open Source software.
Now, the future never comes in the package you imagine, but Sora is a real threat. Given that shots are - on average - 5 - 10s, the limitation of 60s isn't too much of a problem. You can generate several takes, pick the right one, stitch them together and presto - you got a movie.
Given the number of budding moviemakers in the wild, that's a whole bunch of competition. And I think it's good. It brings the art back to the people - and the people will choose. Like commercial software, I don't think commercial movies will disappear, but they will need to adapt. It will shake up the industry like never before.
Creative AI's end point will be something like Star Trek the Next Generation's Holodeck. An interactive entertainment system where it can construct a fantasy tailor made to the user's demands and tastes and once someone makes a program like that for VR head sets thats it centralized industrial entertainment is dead. Why watch what someone who clearly hates you and is only in it for activism and money when you can instead make a story tailor made to your tastes.
Channels are already making 1 minute movie trailers of things like Terminator and The Matrix. The work has to be spread over a couple of different services, and rhe visuals can be iffy at times, but otherwise, they are actually pretty astounding. The one for Terminator and Dune were really compelling and looked like 70mm Panavision.
"Perfect for Amy Schumer". Feel the burn!
Everything creative is made for hedge funds. Let’s take creativity back.
That's why I stopped posting my drawings on the internet, because everything you put on there will be copied and assimilated into it's 'big data' in order to be exploited. It's like the damn Borg collective!
time for topiary
I'm fed up with these movie stars telling me how I should think. It's hard to separate the artist from their politics.
Spike Jones, were he alive, would love your distinctive shirt Chato.
In ten years we will be designing our own movies , on our cell phones like we do with mods for video games
Why would AI devs create themselves out of a job? And replace human creativity to be artificial.
I'd love to make my own movies, but the effort required is huge.
@@TravisHi_YT Not In the future, It will be like ordering a pizza. For example " Hey XYZ movie Generater - Yes - I want a 60's type Western that
is 120 minutes long , with Scarlett johanson ; John Wayne ; and Denzel Washington : rated "R" . XYZ then says your movie will be ready in 20 minutes , now will this be Credit or Debit
@@XSquidbeatsX Because its still just a tool , AI will never have imagination, The custumer will still have to tell it what to do
@@dwainmorris7854 That is the problem. You tell it what to do. When using any tool such as a paint brush, it creates beauty with mistakes. AI doesn't have this.
I think there's something you're overlooking though: AI video generation. It won't be long until anyone can generate a very passable animation. At which point, every indie auteur will be able to make their own movies on a tiny budget. So we will see far more works for niche audiences.
After seeing the latest batch of AI videos here on TH-cam, I think filmmaking itself is going to become obsolete. It's getting THAT good. I just don't know how you can now force that genie back into its bottle.
Ai will still be filmmaking.
1:53 'boring and tedious' bring me back to my youth and endless reruns (sorry in the antipodes) or MASH, Happy Days, Three's Company and later Cheers TV shows that were there - just 'there' because... but continue
Always love seeing you pop up with a new video! Love you Chato, can't wait for your next FNT appearance!
I've started watching old, old movies from the 40s and 50s. I've seen most of the US ones because I've always been a fan of the old black and whites, so I've broadened my horizon with old black and whites from Britain. I still enjoy watching those old movies I've seen a few times. I never get tired of quality. No one is really producing quality movies at the present time.
Where/how can you watch them? DVD?
@@reginaldforthright805 I get them right here off of YT. There are quite a few channels that show them. Just do a search for old movies from the 40s.
@@reginaldforthright805 Try Samuel Goldwyn Film, Cinema Cities, Classic British Films, Classic British Movies. Those are channels that I've found great old black and whites movies on here on youtube.
@@reginaldforthright805 I found them here on TH-cam. Try Old British Classic Film, Old British Classic Movies, Cult Classics, and Samuel Goldwyn Films. Those are all channels I've found great movies on. But there are a lot of channels here that have the golden oldies, not just those I've listed.
@@reginaldforthright805 I find them here on this platform.
Spot on, as usual, Paul. Was thinking the same thing about the kinds of movies we enjoyed. We will never see even simple films from the 80’s and 90’s. They wont make anymore films like The Shawshank redemption, or just little fun movies like “The Goonies.” Everything has to be a bloated budget blockbuster (and butt buster at over 3 hours long). I think those of us who got to see movies like Romancing The Stone, or Pale Rider were lucky. Kinda makes you pine for the days of Max Headroom when AI still had to be simulated by a human actor, doesn’t it? Where’r Matt Frewer or Douglass Rain when you need them ?
Right now Al is also lousy at generating consistent storytelling like with illustrated novels and comics , and you can forget about costume designing
It's not as simple as just writing prompts and letting the computer shit out whatever pattern matches, if you want to do anything consistent you need to be doing custom fine tunes and a lot of manual guidance with inpainting layers. Much more just a tool than people think, because it's really easy to generate reasonably high quality on loose prompts...when you don't care about details or consistency.
However it is excellent at blowing out a good detailed script from solid structure.
Just like it is excellent at blowing out a a programming idea into software increasing the productivity of programmers by 30 to 50% and that is getting higher.
It's not as good at maintaining existing code put that's partially because it's not trained on the existing code base.
Yes, AI will never learn to add!
@@davedsilva Oh It can add , but you have to tell it what to add and where to add because it does not the way I like to add
24 hours movies are meeting the same fate as 24 hour news. Running out of product, trying to create new product but just repeating old product.
I love how you manage to step on everyone's toes at some point. We all need this type of commentary. Thank you. I have to say, I believe we are only seeing a brief glimmer of AI's future capabilities. I can imagine a time where each person will make a facial expression, and while being recorded by the inescapable video cameras surrounding us; we will be fed our own individual "lotus soup programming" by our wonderful AI sponsor...
Thank you.
I quite agree that AI will strike first at soundtracks. Hans Zimmer and his music factory has already paved that road. In the end corporate logic hates labor costs and are quite hostile to it. Writers will be next as studio's especially Disney hate the risk of indulging a writer's voice. In the end it will be the performances itself as a catalog of AI past actors will replace live performances. AI gives the "entertainment" corporations the ability to turn the "product" into the ultimate commodity. Free from the human touch, and profit expenditure and risk, its only factor will be mere ownership.
Hollywood had a good run, it's time for it to go away now.
If AI will predict audience preferences, and so called "creators" will continue to intentionally disregard audience preferences, then there is only one result possible for such confrontation.
Since I just rewatched Colossus: The Forbin Project, I loved your Colossus voice for the AI bit.
Great movie.
Talk is cheap, is an underused phrase, maybe now that we can mass manufacture meaningless talk we will finally see a market correction.
First they steal your soul and now they want to steal your image!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
this could work out good. Currently we have a lot of talent making good content on youtube in the fitness space. Some young guys and girls who are thinking out of the box. If there are young directors, writers, etc etc who can leverage ai and give us some good indy content it would be great to see the big setups somewhat humbled. I must say though going to a good movie and having a wine and sharing in the experience with others, laughing, gasping, is one of my favourite things to do so I hope for a world where we can have both. But good content is a must.
Every time this topic comes up, I am reminded of "The Darfsteller" , a 1955 science fiction novelette by American writer Walter M. Miller, Jr.
At this point, hallucinating AI may actually come up with more interesting stuff than corporate suits with their A-B tests.
I took the plunge a few weeks ago and downloaded some open source ai stuff to run on my computer, that isn't as good as chat gpt but private. I've spent several days total playing glorified choose you own adventures that aren't perfect sure but they have been way more entertaining
4:09 - AI, especially ChatGPT, is a "consensus emulator" - it gives an answer that a consensus would consider correct, which means that it is wrong most of the time...
At least AI has intelligence while current day Hollywood does not
I literally came here to say this 🔼
😆 LOL 😆!
Neither of them have intelligence.
And not garbage ideas
Modern music audiences have already been acclimatized to the sound of auto-tune, so no one is going to notice when the musicians disappear and AI writes the music. I'm told al algorithm to churn out in infinite number of current day pop songs is no big deal. Maybe the silver lining in this is a renaissance of live music?
AI cannot kill what is already dead. Your shirt is perfect for the garden setting.
Paul: *_"Granted, it was far better than Rings Of Power..."_*
BURN...🤭
Love the trippy shirt. The problem is AI won't solve the monetizing model in Hollywood that is broken with disruptive innovations like YT and TiKTok taking all those eyes away from network television and movie screens. Still thought Quibi was ahead of it's time which maybe now.
Thoughts that make me think, threads that make me jealous. Killer shirt. Great insight.
Hi Paul, You are describing the “Innovators Dilemma”. The new entrant comes in from the bottom of the market. Learns more over time and continues to eat the lunch of the industry leader. As we can see from the self driving car software. AI is taking time to learn how to drive, a more sophisticated task than putting a face on someone.
Anyone remember a movie with Al Pacino called "Simone" (SIMulation ONE)? A computer generated woman was created to replace an actress to finish a movie. Then said movie was nominated for best actress (Oscars was easily fooled).
If this is the near future I'm fine with it.
Bonus: at the end of the movie Simone gain sentience and enters politics. (still don't know if thats scary or funny)
I do remember it. I didn't see it, myself, but I remember reading about it in computer magazines before it came out.
That was one scary movie
I haven't watched network television in a couple of decades and I canceled all of my streaming services and used the money to buy AI related stocks. I went back to reading books and fortunately, those don't have 10 minutes of commercials for every 30 minutes of content.
AI is a tool, in the right hands it could create some really good stuff. You mentioned that ai can not do comedy but that's only on its own, someone with a true flair for comedy will be able to use it still and possibly make something amazing.
Your AI response was reminiscent of Max Headroom . Well done !
We all thought the creative arts would be the last to go. Writing, music, art, and design were the first casualties. Hold on to your butts folks... Shizz is gonna get nuts.
They weren't the first casualties, but we thought the arts would be a century away, or maybe even out of reach of computers forever. As Paul mentioned, desktop publishing replaced traditional typesetting. I've heard horror stories from every sector. Language translators have been hit hard. I've heard stories of potters in China who had their business stolen by companies pretending to sell hand made pottery, but were making cheaper 3D printed knock-offs. The technology is moving way too fast now for society to adjust to the changes, I feel.
you could never allow "Cherokee People" in the _current year._
Heh, after seeing this, I asked Chat GPT to do a small script.
Can you write me a short script Title is Star Trek The day after yesterday? It has the TOS crew.
Copilot
Certainly! Here’s a brief script titled “Star Trek: The Day After Yesterday” featuring the original TOS crew:
Title: Star Trek: The Day After Yesterday
INT. USS ENTERPRISE - BRIDGE - DAY
Captain James T. Kirk, Mr. Spock, Dr. Leonard McCoy, Lt. Uhura, and Ensign Pavel Chekov are gathered on the bridge. The ship has just emerged from a turbulent spatial anomaly.
KIRK: (leaning against the railing) “Well, that was quite a ride. Report, Mr. Spock.”
SPOCK: “Fascinating, Captain. We appear to have traveled back in time approximately 24 hours. Our current stardate is… yesterday.”
MCCOY: “Yesterday? Damn it, Jim! I’m a doctor, not a temporal physicist!”
UHURA: “Captain, communications are down. We can’t reach Starfleet.”
CHEKOV: “Keptin, sensors show Earth, but it’s different. The continents have shifted. And there’s a massive city where San Francisco used to be!”
KIRK: “Set a course for Earth. Warp factor 5. Let’s find out what happened.”
The USS Enterprise streaks toward the altered Earth. As they approach, they see futuristic skyscrapers, flying cars, and bustling crowds.
INT. USS ENTERPRISE - TRANSPORTER ROOM - DAY
The crew materializes on a rooftop overlooking the city.
KIRK: “What the hell is going on?”
A mysterious figure approaches.
MYSTERIOUS FIGURE: “Welcome to the future, Captain Kirk. I am Admiral Janeway. You’ve arrived just in time for the Federation’s darkest hour.”
And so begins their adventure-a blend of past, present, and future. The TOS crew must unravel the temporal mystery, face new enemies, and save the timeline.
END
(Fade out as the USS Enterprise stands against the futuristic skyline.)
Thanks to Chato for the idea. Of course this is nothing but what I would consider very poor fan fiction. But I hear something, and I test it. He is 100% correct.
This is a brilliant video! Can I share it on Linkedin for my film&tv connections?
Absolutely. Share it far and wide.
Friend of mine is one of the top audio engineers (I think that's her job title)in Hollywood. She was telling me years ago that Eddie Murphy does NOT do ADR. He has/had a guy that sounded enough like him and he would loop all of Eddie's lines. Upshot, whenever you hear dialog in an Eddie Murphy movie that's obviously ARD, that is not Eddie Murphy you're hearing.
ADR? What do you mean? I don't understand...
@@gjtrue Automatic Dialogue Replacement. It’s when an actor re-records their lines well after the fact in a sound booth. Mostly it’s used to replace audio that wasn’t recorded well enough during principal shooting. But it’s also used sometimes to add in new dialogue to add a plot point that would otherwise be missing from the film.
@@phluphie Oooooh, okay. Now I certainly understand. I wonder how far back this really goes... 🤔
@@gjtrue I'd bet it all that from the beginning of sound in movies producers and directors have asked their assistant to take a stab at a line in the recording booth. The actors don't care. They're already on their next payday and don't want to be bothered as long as it sounds reasonably close and is a passable performance.
I don't think AI will ever be good enough for generating an entire episode/movie from end-to-end, but it could help with certain scenes, like what CG is already used for, just better.
I think it could be good for quickly putting together pitches for concepts.
Tree better than ring of power. 😆😆😆
Tree Ring of Power?
In my lifetime individuals using off the shelf but high end consumer hardware will be able to create feature length and production quality movies. I look forward to all the stories and ideas these new creators will share with the world. Also all the por...
From the tunes I've heard so far, AI will never replace real composers and bands. It will never be more than background music. Some of it isn't necessarily bad but is very forgettable.
I'm holding out for a fully realized holodeck for my entertainment.
The consolidation of the media companies into a few gigantic firms reduced the churn and competition among creative types. In addition, the gigantic firms often care more about the attributes of the people making the "content" than they do about the quality of the content. Thus people aren't hired based upon their ability but instead based upon their attributes. The amazing thing to me is that shareholders have put up with this for so long. Meanwhile, on TH-cam, the audience decides who is a successful creator based up what they watch. That is why there is far more interesting stuff on TH-cam than what comes out of Hollywood.
I have a friend who as a rule doesn’t watch tv. She recently got into a relationship with a man who watches tv every evening. She said she is appalled at the low quality of entertainment. The acting, the writing, the themes, the whole experience. It was hilarious to see a totally fresh reaction to modern entertainment garbage.
I don’t watch tv either, I stopped some years ago as it is pure garbage here in the UK. When my husband watches tv I go play on the Xbox. I may join him later but just watch TH-cam videos. To be fair my husband would only tolerate quizz shows or motoring programmes like Bangers and Cash which is usually interesting.
Great analogy of AI being like weeds 👍🏻👍🏻 really drives the point home
I agree regarding humor, but I'm quite impressed at how fast AI has improved in the art department. Perhaps AI can make inexpensive animated TV shows in the near future, based on a script and a description.
Streaming was supposed to replace DVDs. It would have made money when it would just provide access to older stuff, while cinema and networks would get the new stuff first (based on new stuff being good, obviously). Streaming was killed by bloating the numbers of providers and a fight for new content, which destroyed the earnings and killed the networks as they no longer have the new stuff exclusive.
Bottom line: Hollywood needed streaming to replace DVD, but instead opted for streaming to replace cable tv, while burning massive amounts of money on making that happen.
Reminds me of a similar comment someone made elsewhere on another video a few days ago and I fully agree with it (despite still finding this A.I. stuff scummy):
*"Controversial opinion:*
*Cancel culture made room for AI. It doesn't talk back, complain, get political or religious. It does what you tell it to do. I plan on doing animation. I won't lie. I'm thinking of using AI voice acting. Have you heard about the drama in the 'booktube' community? Animation and art community? Someone does something the majority dislikes or forgets innocent until proven guilty and they start returning books, cancelling and harassing artist. It's a sad day when working with AI feels less risky than working with people.*
*If I hire a voice actor and they discover something about me they don't like then try to get me cancelled... I mean...ugh.*
*Or translators not translating foreign media correctly. AI won't do that.*
*If people just did their jobs and let people live their life maybe AI wouldn't look so appealing."*
It's for similar reasons I want to finally get serious about making "my own" video games and other media, taking advantage of the mainstream and "AAA" mess that's currently & seemingly crashing in on itself, all the while antagonizing it's audience and other nonsense.
Ai could be the best thing for consumers in the very near future. You could dump all of Married with Children episodes and ask it to create new seasons. Or if you've liked a movie in the past but didn't agree with the casting, ask it to replace the actor with someone you do like. The only problem with this society is that we have the need of a creating class to feed the machine, or else we're stuck in the past forever.
That shirt is next-level, Paul. Almost induced tracers. ✌
Int the past the key to great movies and television were talented writers and powerful directors.
Today, there are none.
50 seconds in....my cataracts wanted to thank you for the shirt....!
AI is like writing by committee. No one person takes charge so there is no real continuity, just a series of events loosely connected and lacking meaning or deeper themes.
Wow. You named some of my favorite bands. Not sure I've ever heard a YTer mention Gentle Giant. I already suspected you had great taste; that is now confirmed.
Rock on!

All too true. Well, I'm off to Netflix to see what's Number Two In Canada today. There are a lot of selections in the Number Two slot.
I have a question for you, Paul…
Of the movies that have come out in the last five years, what genre keeps you the most engaged/suspends your disbelief the most?
And after figuring that out, has it changed for you?
The only thing that consistently entertains me now is anime and Asian sci-fi. I’m still a comic book and fantasy movie nut and if they made anything good I’m there for it. I’m missing good comedies.
Interesting. I watched a drama the other night, one that I typically wouldn’t have watched…and I can’t say it was a great movie, nonetheless, it kept me engaged more than I thought it would.
There is a lot of talk about how poorly Hollywood is performing lately, and I think that is accurate.
But I got a hunch that the audience may have changed more than they think they have in recent times.
Almost all films are essentially centered around human interaction with one another, and there are many people today who do far less of that than previous generations.
It makes me wonder, are they making movies for humans who are less human?
Hollywood needing a good weeding, is a perfect analogy. Keep up the good work.
I like this one as well. If a garden is unattended, weeds will take over.
My grandfather started his career as an apprentice typesetter back in the late 30's, one of his first jobs, for a very small volume printer still working manually. He took a little career break to visit North Africa and Italy in the 40's; many young men of his generation doing something very much like it. When he demobbed, he got a job with his local paper, which used a hot metal typesetter. He worked his way up to being a compositor, and eventually retired a few years after his workplace introduced Aldus PageMaker. He did say he'd enjoyed learning something new, and that he could easily have kept going well into his 70's, but "if old codgers like me don't go away, the younger men lose opportunities for promotion, and they've been scarce enough since cold type".

Here's to the 80s 🥂
So Paul, how are you bringing in the flower garden background? I don't see any green-screen blurring or other problems. Are you just sitting in front of your humungous HD-esque television? It looks awesome. The flower print shirt was a nice touch.
It’s green screen. I started shooting in v-log and had way more control over edges.
Really good tip for indie filmmakers is A.I. generated scores. Most contemporary movie music is beyond generic, so I think it could be matched and exceeded with a few good prompts.
Hollywood deserves all that’s coming to it. I for one would much rather watch a Terminator film that has an ‘in his prime’ Arnold in it rather than an 70 year old pretending he’s still buff. Obviously for that to happen you’d have to pay image rights but AI could create its own actor for a franchise that never gets old. The dying breath of current day Hollywood will be the actors trying to sell their image rights, just to wring out the final few dollars before obscurity. Great video Mr Chato. 👍👍👍
I always wanted the buff Star Trek Original series characters back for the Trek movies since I was a teenager in the 70s. I really missed that the old actors in the 80s Trek movies could only just stand around and talk. I have waited for AI generated Star Trek movies since the 70s.
A story from a crybaby: My whole life I've loved movies and always said I'd retire within walking distance of a mulitplex. Every day I would buy a ticket and spend the afternoon sneaking from one theatre to the next watching the same films over and over. God must have heard me because now I'm on the cusp but movies suck and the theatres will be closing any day now. Be careful what you wish for--someone may be listening.
IMO Hollywood has done itself in, even without A.I.
Dat true.
It's no wonder people are going back to the old things. I'm rediscovering my musical tastes of the 70's, including Jethro Tull, so I'm right with you on that one. 😃What else are we going to do in this vacuum that passes for entertainment today? And that's the void that AI will fill. There is an inevitability about it.
