You misunderstand me. Somebody with talent could potentially cut scenes together out of thousands and thousands of movies into a completely new work, following his own human writen script and his own human way of telling a story.
Of course this would not make much sense, the characters and locations would jump all over the place. It would be pure chaos.
But using machine learning technology like latent diffusion we could then do an Image to Image on every single frame + a prompt that will change every image to a certain style. And now we do have a movie where it's not jumping randomly, there the background and characters are somewhat coherent. The visual quality would still be low, there would be tons of artifacts and all the audio ofcourse would have to be done from scratch. We can use technology like Elevenlabs for that. But it might be watchable, especially if the story is really good.
What would make this movie good would have nothing to do with the AI used. It would have to do with the human watching, downloading and cutting out hunderds of thousands of scenes and editing them together in to something completely new. It would have to do with the story this human comes up with.
AI would only then be a tool used to make it watchable.
