About whether AI-generated art, films and novels will replace human artists.

I see how AI movies could replace every single Marvel movie since Endgame so. Toss the AI the comic story lines, give it endless compute capacity to create CGI effects and deep fakes if actirs and you have it.

It is different for movies actually tellong a story, those are about emotions. Once AI can come up with convincing story telling for us humans, us humans clearly are redundant.

An AI comes up with storytelling that humans find convincing, in movies that rely on emotion rather than effects.
