No, AI is unlikely to put Hollywood out of business, but it is rapidly changing the industry by impacting jobs and altering production methods. While AI can create content and has caused significant job anxiety, leading to strikes and lawsuits, many believe it will instead become a tool that assists human creativity and enables new types of storytelling, rather than replacing the need for human artists who provide the "soul" of a story. The future will likely involve a collaboration between human creatives and AI, with AI handling some tasks and creating new roles in the process. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8]
How AI is changing the industry
• Job impact: AI is reducing demand for some jobs in areas like visual effects, graphics, and post-production. This has led to significant concern and action from unions, including the 2023 strikes and legal challenges, though many sources argue AI will create new roles.
• Tool for creativity: Many see AI as a tool that will enhance creativity rather than replace it.
• It can help with tasks like generating concepts, writing scripts, and creating special effects.
• It can also enable projects that were previously not feasible due to cost or complexity.
• Altering production: The rise of AI video generation platforms is making it easier for independent filmmakers to create and monetize content. This could shift the landscape from large studio productions to smaller, more accessible projects.
• New creative roles: The use of AI is expected to create new jobs for "AI artists" and others who can manage and guide AI tools to achieve creative visions. [1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]
Arguments against AI replacing Hollywood
• Lack of human "soul": Some argue that AI, which is based on existing data, cannot replicate the "soul" or "life essence" that makes great stories connect with audiences.
• Creative process: Hollywood's creative process is often a collaboration between many different minds working together, a process that is fundamentally different from how an AI operates.
• Audience preference: The success of AI-generated music has been limited, suggesting that audiences may not gravitate toward purely AI-generated content and may continue to prefer human-created art.
• Market potential: While the market for generic content may shrink, the market for original projects could grow, as AI lowers the barrier to entry for creators. [1, 6, 8, 10]
