Hot take: the real reason studio execs are so horny for AI is because they've finally found someone they can relate to: a shameless, plagiarising, cliche-spouting, soulless machine that has literally no idea what it's talking about.

I saw a tweet saying "AI can't make art because it doesn't get horny and you have to be full of desire to make art" and that one rattles around my brain like a tin can in a washing machine

The part where you mention he used AI just to come up with the idea made me want to break something.

Super cool that we've got the robots doing the writing and art and poetry whilst we do all the menial shitty manual labour.

The "great artists steal" is a misquote from T. S. Eliot, and the original one makes tones of sense in relation to AI: Immature poets imitate; mature poets steal; bad poets deface what they take, and good poets make it into something better, or at least something different. The good poet welds his theft into a whole of feeling which is unique, utterly different from that from which it was torn; the bad poet throws it into something which has no cohesion.

The most hilarious theory about AI "art" is that it is rapidly making itself worse. AI art is oversaturating the crops of links on websites that generative art is pulling from to train their models. This is causing newer models to replicate the mistakes found in the AI art it finds. This is compounded by the fact that the models are hard to "detrain", once that crap is in their algorithms it's stuck there.

It's really sad that the general devaluation of art has come to this point. And I remember I was so excited when the "shoot a day in your life wes anderson style" trend went viral because I saw people not in the field doing an exercise of cinematography. It's so beautiful when people not accustomed to do art try to, and I think that perhaps that integration with the everyday can make a shift in how the general public treat the art

I think the whole AI problem is just a symptom of the bigger problem, which is that our society has a terrible relationship with art. Most people don’t understand the value of it, and corporations treat it like a conveyor belt. Plenty of people don’t even see being an artist as a real job. Until that problem gets addressed, there’ll be some new problem around every corner that all feel like the current AI one.

Studio executive attempting to replace everyone with A.I. but ends up just replacing themselves also sounds like a great premise for a Twilight Zone or Black Mirror episode.

You unlocked a memory for me. I watched that X-men parody years ago, but found this channel's video essays entirely separately just a few weeks ago. I'd completely forgotten about that parody video and would have never guessed it was you who'd made it.

I totally agree with the "A.I. is a grift" sentiment. It essentially allows lazy people to come up with an approximation of something, when they don't want to expend the effort to learn how to do the thing they want to do, and then to do it. "Art" without artistry isn't really art, now, is it?

The gag about all this is that the AI needs constant annotation through Remotasks, where humans feed the AI by responding to and rating tasks for cents on the dollar. They’re the reason the AI even looks and reads as human, and it’s getting worse because those humans are using AI to annotate.

A Big element of the grift, is the courses curious refuge are selling. The amount of AI related YouTube channels and courses that have popped up are insane as well.

AI "artwork" is already beginning to crowd out images on Pinterest. The most annoying part is that selecting the images to determine whether they are AI-generated seems to register with Pinterest as "liking" them, and it constantly tries to feed you more and more of them. You are forced to actively select them to hide them- and when it asks you why, it doesn't even let you say "because I do not want an AI-generated image".

As much as I laughed at the joke about the WB execs losing their job to AI it should be noted that AI being used to decide what to make is just as bad as having AI write scripts. AI will choose even more recognizable IP movies and we'll get even less original ideas on the big screen.
