"I will have 30k to make a fully AI film, what's the plan?"
"I'm supposed to have ideas by next week. cmon guys what do you want to see? I like sci-fi but it feels to obvious for AI."
"You've got people with $30k begging the internet for ideas by next week because they have nothing of their own to say, it's just slop for the sake of slop," Southen fumed. "Embarrassing state of affairs."
"AI is supposed to be the future of filmmaking and the arts. It will democratize it, boosters insist, and revolutionize it. Anytime someone posts one of those AI-generated videos with deepfaked actors in them is an occasion for legions of AI bros to sneer that Hollywood's days will soon be numbered. But if all that's the case, how come none of these AI "artists" seem to possess a single creative molecule in their body? Why is every AI video just a riff on existing stories, mashing celebrities together like a kid with their dolls?"
An AI filmmaker asked followers for ideas to make a fully AI film with a $30k budget and received mocking responses. Critics condemned the approach as emblematic of an unserious, derivative pursuit that lacks original voice and craft. Commentators argued that tools do not make filmmakers and that a budget should be spent finding a script rather than soliciting random ideas. Proposed crowd suggestions were juvenile and uninspired, reinforcing fears that AI-driven content often recycles existing work, relies on celebrity mashups, and fails to demonstrate genuine creativity or artistic authorship.
