And I wonder if that’s true. Yeah.

It’s not the high art of storytelling. And there’s a very specific formula that I, and so I just fear all of that, that the writing assistant jobs going away, that it’ll just be chat UBT, writes the first draft and the writer comes in and does a pass on it, but like the man hours and the respected salaries and things that, that have always been associated with these things will just erode when they’re like, Oh, well I, my $20 subscription to this AI thing can just do that for me now. And like, I’m not going to pay somebody to write a log line, a synopsis and tag lines. I can just sit here and in minutes have hundreds of options to choose from. So, it’s super exciting tools. And I, again, I’m not a special effects artist, but every once in a while, I’m like, man, like that. I got a boom mic in the shot. I got to pay somebody to paint that out, you know? And that’s, that’s part of what you budgeted, but now I go like, I don’t have to pay that person. So is that person going to do for work when everybody doesn’t need them anymore? So it’s, it’s a fine line because it, yeah, the tech and what AI is doing for medicine and for, for computing power and AI has AI in society has so many amazing purposes. Uh, it’s just the, the impact at art that, and it’s just going to make everything so uncertain, because at some point studios will just say like, it’s a fraction of the cost to make this AI content. And you know what? Most people don’t seem to mind. They’re just going to keep watching whatever we give them. Why would we pay all this money for humans to make things? And then eventually why would Canon or Red or Panavision keep making cameras? If they only have 20% of the market left to sell it to, you know, or the camera suddenly costs 40 grand instead of four grand, does, does everything go backwards? So, I’m optimistic that the goal is to just keep making movies and telling stories like dream crusher and reward where we’re doing something different that AI can’t do yet. That’s my whole thing. Every time people go like, Hey, I can’t do that. I’m like, you have to say yet at the end of that sentence. Cause in a year to five years, who knows who knows what’s going to happen. Listen, maybe, maybe I fall in love with it. Maybe somebody shows me a fully AI feature next year and I go like, you know what? This is better than Shawshank. Like, this is now my favorite movie of all time. Like I am open to the idea that it could lead to the greatest revolution of entertainment.
