What could AI do to film?

Nothing either surprising or that I haven't already heard. Same can be said of music, photos, illustrations, novels — everything.
Given the real potential of this technology, all human expression risks turning into something like a Renaissance faire: yeah sure, people will still make shit by hand, but only in quaint ways by weirdos in lower economic brackets; nothing resembling anything close to real commercial viability. You'll buy it here and there as a souvenir.
Meanwhile, all the shit in your house and everything you consume will come from AI. We'll be listening to AI Beatles and Stones songs, watching AI Jerry Seinfeld and AI Glen Close, reading AI Stephen King for decades, maybe centuries.
That's just the first wave. Books in the style of whomever we like will be written for us in minutes, AI actors created using aggregate facial data will star in movies constructed entirely with CG and AI, and for a price you can watch yourself screwing whomever you like however you like as long as you can upload a photo. All this shit is already possible, it's just not flawless or mass-market yet.
I'm so glad Sleepy Joe is on top of this.

@jon-nyc, this may be off topic … what do you hear about AI replacing securities traders, risk managers, high frequency trading strategy designers, etc.?
