don't just read the text - watch the video, it's the point of the exercise. And I worked all weekend on it. Thank you.

I started thinking about what kind of story you could tell with these impressive but incoherent bits. It wouldn't be a typical movie, but there's got to be a ton of money willing to back any movie that can claim to be "made with AI".

One would have to start from the technical limitations. The characters are inconsistent, so in order to tell any story one would need something that the technology can deliver at least a high percentage of the time to identify protagonist/antagonist. Perhaps hats in different colours? Or film protagonist and antagonists with green screen and put them in the clips? (That is cheating, but of course they would cheat.)

So what kind of story can you tell? A movie that perhaps has a lot of dream sequences? Or a drug trip? It would be very niche, but again the point would just be to be able to claim "made with AI".

It seems pretty perfect for surrealism where everything is supposed to be illogical and dreamlike.

You can film with an actual camera then use video to video to make it look very AI. If you're just grifting, that would be the way to go I think.

Clever. Writing up my pitch to Open ai...

Maybe something like time travel, because then it might be okay if the protagonists kept changing their appearance to some degree. But even then, there wouldn't be enough consistency, I guess.

I feel like there's got to be a surreal horror movie in there somewhere. Like an AI-assisted Videodrome or something.
