How close are we to full movie generation from a technical standpoint?
As someone working in the field, I&#x27;m surprised at all the comments here saying that it&#x27;s not too far off. I disagree.<p>It really comes down to what your tolerance for error is. If you want something that kind of looks like a movie on the surface, but comes with a bunch of of nonsensical plot points and&#x2F;or image artifacts then yes, I don&#x27;t think we&#x27;re too far off, maybe a few years or so. But you&#x27;ll easily be able to tell that it&#x27;s not made by humans. I&#x27;m taking about long-form movies here, not short video clips, which IMO aren&#x27;t too far off and are probably possible roughly with what we have today.<p>But for something that&#x27;s truly indistinguishable from a human-made long-form movie, I don&#x27;t think we can get there by improving the current technology, not even in 1-2 decades. Yes, DALL-E and GPT are impressive, but once you go past cherry-picked examples to something that requires long-term cohesion and reasoning it falls apart rather quickly because you&#x27;re completely out-of-sample. You&#x27;re not going to get this kind of model produce long-form content without any kind of incohesion.
