I've been thinking a lot about this across many different mediums, not just filmmaking, and I think it's one worth digging deeper on.*
What is lost when losing the (understandably annoying) process of the grind? By letting LLMs do the busy work, do you lose the opportunity to stumble into randomness? Do you lose the understanding of what is possible/interesting with the medium?
And do you end up in this derivative future where decisions are made by a system that was trained on all the previous uses of it?
Obviously that's fairly hyperbolic, but I have absolutely felt the pull of it all. When it decides to take a couple extra steps I didn't ask for creatively and I think "eh, that's fine."
*EDIT: I wrote this and looked back and this SOUNDS like an LLM wrote it. See what I mean??????
Recently I was trying to fix something in the production database, and had called over a co-worker as sanity-check.
I ended up telling them about point-and-call because I felt a little silly, pointing to everything on the screen and stating what I believed it said and how that would operate once I pressed the big red button.
Yeah it's sort of alarming when you think about hooking up models to take action in the real world and telling them it's just a game. Several scifi stories have it as a plot twist that humans think they are playing a game but are killing actual people. I'm not sure if the same twist shows up for AIs but it seems like an increasingly real possibility.
Thank you for sharing your story! I wish you continued success and I also hope that one day someone will share with you about how YOUR story helped them do something similar, just like the article did for you.
