That video was posted two days ago by Irish filmmaker Ruairi Robinson, who was nominated for an Oscar in the short film category in 2002. He says his faux fight came from a two-line prompt into A.I. bot Seedance 2.0, owned by the Chinese parent company of TikTok, ByteDance.
The video went viral after screenwriter Rhett Reese (“Deadpool & Wolverine”, “Zombieland”) posted dire thoughts about what it portends on Twitter/”X.” earlier this week.“I hate to say it,” Reese wrote. “It’s likely over for us.”
““In next to no time,” he wrote later, ” one person is going to be able to sit at a computer and create a movie indistinguishable from what Hollywood now releases. True, if that person is no good, it will suck. But if that person possesses Christopher Nolan’s talent and taste (and someone like that will rapidly come along), it will be tremendous.” Now Hollywood is trembling in terror.
Ethics Alarms 
AI isn’t the end of movie makers. It’s the democratization of movie making. And live theater should be delighted that the century old assault on its place in performing arts by a tiny cabal of society eating perverts is now under attack.
Live theater will make a bit of a comeback now. Of course not to the heights it was before tv and movie existed.
That was a pretty lame fight. It looked like a video game fight. And the sound was terrible. Was there any blood? Sounded and looked totally pain free. Of course, movie fights aren’t very realistic anyway.
Funny to see this post immediately after this commentary AI video on the topic…

I saw a wonderful movie a couple of weeks ago: “Lars and the Real Girl”. It’s billed as a “rom-com, involving a life-like sex doll”, to which I react with “Ewww!”, but what it really is, is a story about how a community responds with sensitivity and support to a young man having a mental health crisis. It has no fight scenes, no CGI, no offensive language. It’s gently humorous in spots, never crude, and released almost 20 years ago (so, no AI influence). I don’t see a many movies, but a friend talked me into seeing this one. Maybe if enough of us ask to see it, producers will notice.
I just looked it up on IMDB, and it looks there’s some language that I would define as “offensive” ie, stuff I wouldn’t say myself, but it looks cleaner than I expected. Maybe I will check it out.
