    Does that seem likely? Pointing a camera at actors is not inherently difficult or expensive. Even when AI is involved, it’s best at turning whatever you have into whatever you describe - so you film real people in real costumes, and let CGI-for-dummies make up elaborate sets. Or you hire three great actors to play a dozen characters.

    Even for CGI films, ‘have’ into ‘describe’ just means you can half-ass the animation and rendering. Productions can focus on writing, character design, and cinematography, then feed in some footage of actors in VR Chat, to get out a scene approaching Pixar quality. Is Pixar itself going to use that process? Probably not. But it’s a million miles from typing ‘funny scene high quality’ and crossing your fingers.
