AI inevitably will change the film industry forever. Deal with it.

Many of my friends in the film industry HATE AI.  The hate the fact that AI will collapse the status quo in the industry.  For some reason they prefer the studios to gate keep everything.  I just don't get it.  AI filmmaking will democratize the art and allow anyone create movies.  Sure there will be a lot of slop, but as in all things, the cream will rise to the top.  I'm a screenwriter and I already see how AI threatens what I do. But instead of cursing the darkness, I'm teaching myself to use AI.  I'm trying to ride the tsunami instead of being washed away by it.
