Hollywood has long been the epicenter of creativity, imagination, and blockbuster filmmaking. But in recent years, the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) has sent ripples of change through the industry. From deepfakes to AI-generated scripts, the possibilities seem endless—and, to some, a bit terrifying.
AI-Generated Sea Monsters: The Future of CGI?
Imagine a world where you can create a hyper-realistic sea monster from the comfort of your home. No need for massive production teams, costly visual effects studios, or even physical sets. AI tools are rapidly replacing manual processes, allowing for faster iterations, quicker turnarounds, and results that are often indistinguishable from reality.
The accessibility of these tools is democratizing content creation. Where once only big studios had the resources to generate movie-quality visuals, now anyone with a decent computer and the right software can do it. Runway’s Gen-3 Alpha, for instance, can already generate 10-second clips that look like they belong in a blockbuster film.
The implications for the industry are staggering. Budgets could shrink, timelines could tighten, and the barrier to entry for new creators is dropping like never before. We’re on the cusp of a content explosion, with AI leading the charge.
