Within a few years, anyone will be able to create a feature length movie if they have an idea. Will it be Hollywood level? Probably not. Does that matter? Probably not.

Two other thoughts:

1. Quantity of creative internet video will increase by orders of magnitude. How do you find the interesting ones vs. low effort slop?

2. Would you rather watch average Netflix or Hollywood move (assume top 10% are affinity for the storyteller / actors and are actually good) or just expand on the universe of your favorite story. Endless Sicario sequels but if Villeneuve AI is director and Sheridan AI is the screenwriter?

I love all this new tech. It's already leading to a crazier internet where the fidelity of memes is going up. I also struggle to see it going long form in the way you describe. storytelling, in a way that's novel and hits the zeitgeist is eternally difficult. the ending is the hard part. wrote about this a while back.
