How many years until we can generate a feature length film from a script?

It looks like this is trending towards making our dreams/thoughts reality in a way in that what we imagine can easily be turned into media - music, books, movies, etc.. Pair this up with VR 'the metaverse' and you literally do get the ability to turn thoughts into personalized explorable realities.. what happens after that?

* Do we get lost in it?

* Does today's 'professional' fiction become a lot less lucrative when we can create our own?

* Is there a to leverage this technology the improve the human condition somehow?

I can create and explore realities using my imagination alone, though. I personally don't think having it become actual 2d or 3d art will have a lasting impact. It might be fun for a while, but it will get old.

I think it will encourage novel ideas in all forms of art. In other words, genuinely new styles and expression will be scarce, because there wasn't thousands of forms of it to train a model on yet.

We will also adjust to AI generated art like have other creative technologies and the novelty will wear off. We will become good at identifying AI generated art and think of it as cheap.

Still, extremely exciting.

> Do we get lost in it?

That is one hypothesis for the fermi paradox, Kardashev scale, and the great filter. At some point all civilizations essentially create infinite dreams/thoughts/Matrix style tech in where we all will retreat inward and have an infinite world to play with and essentially become gods in a virtual reality.

Nobody would be interested in it really, since everyone (would have) (edit) their own thing they want others to check out. It's like fan fiction collections online, or the 80% of deviantart that you really don't want to spend time with - only now everything looks hollywood polished.

You could do storyboards from a shooting script* now, but generalizing to synthesizing character and camera movement as well as object physics is a ways off.

* A version of the script used mainly by director and cinematographer with details of each different angle to be used covering the scene.

I want to see the Batman film where the Joker gives Batman a coupon for new parents but it is expired. That should really be a real film in theatres.

I suspect at least 10+ depending on your definition.

Tools like this will absolutely be used by professionals to cut out portions of the workload, but there's still a large gap between something like this and actually making a coherent, cohesive, consistent, paced, well framed and lit story from text alone.
