I watched my most of this video before I realized it was all AI:

That video has 30 million views.
This other AI generated one has 80 million:

In 2020, I predicted ( https://alwaysasking.com/when-will-ai-take-over/#AI_in_Entertainment ) that people would be able to create feature length films would eventually be a hobby accessible to anyone, but I didn't think the day would come so soon.

Cool! Jason all such predictions should come with a timeline to arrival, a specific date, along with specific carefully worded, unambiguous objective criteria for judging true or false. Example you hear a lot of: gold will go to 200 bucks a gram. No good, for of course it will eventually get to 200, but when? And what if it hits 200 before your date? So it should be worded: gold will have a spot price on Money Metals Exchange of 200 for two consecutive days before such and such date. All predictions should be clarified and objectified.
All of my AI predictions have been wrong: we got there on all of it before I expected it. AI just showed up unexpected, like the Spanish Inquisition. If the singularity comes in less than 12 years I will lose money as it kills everybody. Oh that would be so tragic, to lose money.
In the meantime, we can make movies using AI. Cool! Aside: when a new technology comes along like this, it obliterates the old technology, for no one can afford to make movies the old way, with sets and actors and so on. The audience gets too small for the big productions to pay off. There is no longer common cultural references. That changes everything.
