In this segment of the YouTube video, the speakers debate the role of artificial intelligence in creative production, specifically filmmaking. Speaker A argues that AI should be treated merely as a tool that assists human creators; when AI is allowed to generate content autonomously—producing a full-length, 120‑minute film without human input—the result will lack genuine emotional depth and fail to engage audiences.

Speaker B acknowledges that this situation reflects the current state of AI in the industry, implying that fully AI‑driven movies are not yet viable.

It won't be it. And the first studio who tries to produce the first film completely on AI and just goes, make me a 120-minute film that has aliens doing this, nobody will watch it. It will fall flat on its hips. Because you don't have that human in the middle.
This is actually the situation now.
