Chinese companies are using AI to create movies at low of $30 cost per minute and actors and crew are losing work steadily (New York Times). The Oscar people are creating rules requiring humans to be at the center of the creative process, and only human actors and human authors will be considered for awards.In March alone, 50,000 new AI-generated “microdramas” were uploaded to China's version of TikTok, equal to all of the prior year combined.The key here of course is NOT what the studios do or don't do about AI content or awards, but rather what the audience spends money on. All forms of the entertainment industry will be in huge upheaval, from acting to music, from art to publishing.
