These are baby steps towards what I think will be the eventual "disruption" to the film and tv industry. Directors will simply be able to write a script/prompt long enough and detailed enough for something like Imagen (or it's successors) to convert into a feature-length show.
Certainly we're very, very far away from that level of cinematic detail and crispness. But I believe that is where this leads... complete with AI actors (or real ones deep faked throughout the show).
For a while I thought "The Volume" was going to be the disruption to the industry. Now I think AI like this will eventually take it over.
The main motivation will be production costs and time for studios, of which The Volume is already showing huge gains for Disney/ILM (just look at how much new star wars content has popped up within a matter of a few years). But i'm unsure if Disney has patented this tech and workflow and if other studios will be able to leverage it.
Regardless, AI/software will eat the world, and this will be one more step towards it. Exciting stuff.
