If this (tragic, dystopian, abominable) future comes to pass, why would we store movies at all?

Just distribute the prompt and I'll generate my own movie on the fly, with my own tweaks of course.

We could market books as movies by marketing them as long consistent prompts. Moviebooks.

It's funny to me that I work in film and have more hope and imagination over the use of this technology than people who (presumably) don't make films at all.

As long as humans have dreams it won't be like that. The human spirit and desire to connect to others and tell stories doesn't just suddenly die.

I think the very best lens to look at it is that all of the tens of thousands of kids that go through film school and never get to bring their VFX-heavy fantasy to life now suddenly have voice to match their ambition.
