Matt Wolfe argues AI video generators aren't killing filmmaking jobs, they're raising the bar. As basic effects become accessible to everyone, creators have to upskill and produce better work to stay competitive.
We were talking about AI video generators, like OpenAI just came out with theirs. And there's this narrative I just absolutely hate that I see all over Twitter that's like, oh, it's the end for directors, Op, it's the end for filmmakers. Look what you can do now. I can't stand that narrative. I don't like the narrative of any time somebody goes on Twitter and makes a blanket statement of this AI is killing this industry. What I feel right now is that it levels the playing field, but it also sort of raises the playing field. It makes everybody that is sort of making videos, making art sort of up level their game. Because now what used to be something people thought was really good, now anybody can do it. So the people that were good at that now need to up their game and get even better at that thing, because pretty much everybody can do the original thing.
