It's an interesting stupid idea.
-
So like, a scene randomiser? Does the end result even make any coherent sense?
-
So it’s not a film it’s random clips that makeup a documentary collage
-
It's an interesting idea, but he's really overselling it here. You don't have to scrap the idea of a complete and unchanging story, nor is it clever to pretend it's a strange and archaic convention. You can play with your AI toys and maybe even do something good with them, but people are still going to want to watch Coppola's The Godfather, as it is. There's nothing old fashioned or inferior about telling a story, nor is there anything superior or cutting edge about telling it a different way each time.

Why would people act on reviews and recommendations if they could not be sure they would get exactly what the reviewer saw?
-
Wouldn’t we want to all see the same thing so there can be discussions about it without everyone having different experiences?

This comment changes every time somebody reads it

Wow what a genius no one ever thought of that before.

I don’t think the whole film has as much meaning to it as much weight as much artistic to it if the film isn’t the same for everyone else

Brain is a unicon amongs many

However, regardless of its millions of iterations of output, there will be many that are closely similar, as the system is dependent on how much data you provide it, so in essence it’s a random generator with a degree of software recognition, which does make it somewhat predictable compared to a real thinking artist make real decisions.

Regular movies that are lineer are not a technical constrain! That's what unites us humans and creates common colture. You are literally creating technology that devides us.

Films are not images, they’re cuts. Go back and look at Man Ray and Maya Deren. The genius isn’t the image but the cut between images. That’s what made Hitchcock the master and what makes Zone of Interest so powerful, the “not” cut.

An astonishing concept. Plato would have appraised this.
-
Gimmick. The death rattle of art
-
What the name of this movie?
-
In the early days of silent movies, there were many different versions of the same film in circulation. So it's not true to say that films were fixed and never changed. Even with the first talkies, there was this habit of shooting the same film in different languages. For example, Laurel & Hardy who couldn't speak any languages and had to learn everything phonetically. So people didn't watch the same films.

I could see movie studios going for something like this combined with A/B-testing to "optimize" a movie (make it more enjoyable over time for the average viewer) over time and to encourage rewatching - at least with with Big Dumb Action Movies.

Some people will never leave the cinema

AMAZING!! I AM SO THERE FOR THIS.
