Lionsgate has become the first significant Hollywood studio to go all-in on AI. The company today announced a “first-of-its-kind” partnership with AI research company Runway to create and train an exclusive new AI model based on its portfolio of film and tv content.
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.
In corporate jargon terminology, Burns said that AI will be used to “develop cutting-edge, capital-efficient content creation opportunities.” He added that “several of our filmmakers are already excited about its potential applications to their pre-production and post-production process.”
Exactly fuck AI companies. Seriously all fucking shit jobs that could be done by robots and yet instead they taking all the fun stuff and our hobbies and runing them.
As a writer I guess just mark my books human written and people should only read, buy and watch content only made by humans and let AI die until corporations get the fucking hint.
Go get a fucking robot to work the factory jobs and leave our creative work alone.
