AI, like Thanos, is inevitable. A vast number of people all over the world already use it on a daily basis for one kind of task or another. People make money with it. They use it to organize their inboxes and calendars. They use it as research partners, for design ideas, and more.
But one thing it was always destined to do was become a massive creative outlet. I've been writing for years now that AI was always going to become something that challenged Hollywood directly as it got more and more capable. The day was right around the corner when a regular Joe like you or me would sit down, write a story, then use an AI video creation service to bring that story to life through incredible-looking visuals.
And that day has more or less arrived. An X user named Tupacabra has released a trailer for an upcoming AI movie called "Nuremberg." Judging by the visuals, I think I can piece together what the story revolves around. The Nazi Party has found a way to travel through time, and it arrives at certain points in history, both the past, our present, and the future, in an attempt to swing the war in their favor. It's up to various figures throughout time to stop the march of the Nazis, and some of these people look like Nikola Tesla, Queen Victoria, some near-future American soldiers, and others that I can't yet identify.

Again, you can definitely tell this is AI-generated because we're used to a lot of the telltale signs; however, you kind of overlook it because the concept behind it is so fascinating and fun. You want to see the story this guy cooked up.
To be sure, if this movie can reliably keep its characters' looks, sounds, and mannerisms consistent, along with maintaining technological consistency and design, you'll have an actual movie on your hands to watch. If the hype maintains or gets even bigger, then I imagine it will be watched by millions, because Nuremberg might be the thing that many people point to as the beginning of the age of AI movies.
To be clear, I don't expect visual or audio perfection out of it. The issue with modern AI models isn't generating convincing scenes; it's maintaining consistency between sequences of them. That would require a ton of real-world time to make sure it got it right, at least for a feature-length film. Regeneration would be necessary and time-consuming, not to mention it'd likely take a ton of credits to do so.
The thing is, I'm talking about the current status of AI movie generation. How this tech looks in five years, and what its capabilities will be, will be way different and far more impressive. There will come a time when consistency won't be an issue, and that time is practically tomorrow. Even in these clips for Nuremberg, the particle effects, liquid consistency, and physics are on point. The only thing that truly stands out is the overacted faces and reactions. Those, too, will become more restrained and subtle as AI advances.
AI filmmaking is here. It's not at its full potential, but it's arrived nonetheless, and I imagine it's going to become so pervasive as to be the norm. Being anti-AI at this point is like trying to dam a river with a popsicle stick. I realize, and agree in large part, that it does negate the acquisition of real creation skills. The thing is, the cost of advancement often equates to the loss of something, and practical skills are usually one of them.
The real creation will be in the dedication and vision of the creator, not the skill of his hand and knowledge of various techniques and programming talent. I think that can be a great thing, because it gives someone who never had the time to learn things like Blender the opportunity to create something you'd see out of it.
I'm actually excited to see what comes out of the public now that video creation has effectively become something anyone can do with an idea. I'm sure most of it will be horrible, but I anticipate a few gems to rise to the top.
