AI Domination: Reaching a Point of No Return?
Episode 1: The Release of Luma's Dream Machine and the Impending Impact
Series: AI Domination | Reaching a Point of No Return
Hi everyone, I'm Kevin, and today I want to talk about the release of an AI tool called Dream Machine by Luma, which can create five-second video clips for free. This is a groundbreaking technology, but it also marks the beginning of a point of no return. Within the next six months to a year, tools like these will allow anyone to generate full-length, high-quality movies. Ashton Kutcher recently pointed out that tools like Sora will soon enable the creation of two-hour-long movies that look just like those made by big studios. With AI-generated content becoming so accessible and cheap, studios and streaming platforms won't need to spend millions on manual labor. This is a game-changer that threatens to eliminate countless jobs in the film industry. We need rules and regulations now to manage the use of this technology before it's too late. The cinematography industry is responsible for $242 billion in total wages annually. Now that these movie AI-generated tools are either free of available to the public for $20/month. It is unlikely that the big studios and streaming platforms who spend on average $150,000,000 on creating Blockbuster looking like movies will be in need of hiring human workers to do that work when the AI can do it for $20/month.
