“HollywoodGPT” is going to be awesome

Remember the Hollywood strikes? The Writers Guild of America demanded that studios ban the usage of AI to write scripts or produce movies.

Careful what you wish for.

The big movie studios signed their own death warrants when they agreed to this demand.

A new breed of disruptors is coming to produce AI-generated movies and shows for 90% cheaper… and much faster. Take AI startup Runway, for example.

Its AI tech generates short videos from a few words of user prompts. Say you type the prompt, “A blue sedan driving in cold, snowy Baltimore.”

It will instantly generate a video clip showing just that.

The magic is that you can instantly change the whole scene with another simple prompt like, “Place the blue sedan in Nevada’s desert.”

Imagine having access to this technology but refusing to use it?

It’s like if the automotive industry banned the assembly line in the 1920s and insisted on assembling cars by hand.

Here’s where this is going…

It’s only a matter of time before we get “HollywoodGPT,” an AI bot trained on the transcripts of every film ever made. It’ll be able to dream up brand-new movie ideas in seconds.

These tools will get so good, they’ll be able to make a tailor-made movie just for you.

This is still a couple years out, but we’re heading toward a world where 10,000 new movies will be made each month — all by individuals or small teams — with the help of AI.

Traditional movie studios that act like ostriches — burying their heads in the sand and hoping AI goes away — will not survive.

Avoid their stocks.
