Oh boy.
"Lionsgate’s exclusive model will be used to generate what it calls “cinematic video” which can then be further iterated using Runway’s technology. The goal is to save money – “millions and millions of dollars” according to Lionsgate studio vice chairman Michael Burns – by having filmmakers and creators use its AI model to replace artists in production tasks such as storyboarding."
I hope they enjoy not being able to copyright the #AI work they use!

It's fun to live in "interesting" times, isn't it?
@MLClark my anxiety agrees 👍🏼
@MLClark Artists will end up doing even more work than before to correct all the mistakes AI makes. They will get paid less. Yay the bottom line!
@MLClark it's only a matter of time before humanity has killed the joy of creation.
@LnzyHou the funniest thing that could ever happen would be that the robots rule and they rule justly and fairly much to the chagrin of the people who run the world right now
A new definition of ironic.
@MidnightRider @LnzyHou I have read that story. The kind administration that removes all possibility of exercise of human free will is one variant.
@MidnightRider @LnzyHou @MLClark
This sci-fi story from 1948 is a pretty entertaining cautionary tale about an artificial brain which we allowed to become so intertwined with all our vital institutions that even once we realized it was malicious, we could not remove it because of our total dependence.

@MLClark ah! If they cannot copyright a storyboard, then others can use a similar storyline?
@MLClark things are about to get very “interesting”
