alt Hacker NewsHollywood's days are numbered.
If you are a creative in this industry, start preparing to transition to another industry or adapt.
Your boss is highly likely to be toying around with this.
The first entirely AI generated film (with Sora or other AI video tools) to win an Oscar will be less than 5 years away.

The day that 90 minutes of 3-second dolly shots wins an Oscar is the day cinema dies.
If you are ok with physics that is completely wrong, camera angles that just don't feel right, strange light effects, and all other kinds of distorted images/videos, maybe Hollywood is doomed. But I don't see that happening.
A reminder: as advanced as CGI is today, lots and lots of movie are still based on (very expensive) real-life scenery or miniature sets (just two of many examples), because they are far, far more realistic than what you get out of computers.

What would you like to wager on this?
... Have you _seen_ the output from these things? I'm not sure actors need to panic just yet.
I mean thats a bold claim. I'd first let chatgpt win an Oscar for writing the best screenplay, and only then would Sora come into the picture.
Nothing I'm seeing here looks like it's going to destroy Hollywood.
I could see this tool maybe being used for generating establishing shots (generate a sweeping drone shot of a lighthouse looking out over a stormy sea), but then the actual talent work in a scene will be way more sensitive. The little details matter so much, and this feels so far from getting all of that right.
Sure, this is the worst it will ever be, things will improve, etc, but if we've learned anything with AI, it's that the last mile is often the hardest.
