Why stop there?
How long until AI can measure my brain response and adjust the script in real time to make the film less predictable, more exciting, relaxing, humorous or engaging based on how I'm feeling?
It's not a massive leap from what you described.
- grumbel 4y agoThat's going to get interesting. What makes movies 'great' is not just the movie itself, but the shared experience of others having watched that same movie too. That gets lost when you start doing movies completely customized to the viewer. And once AI is capable of replacing the "social experience" of movie viewing, humanity might not be far away from having rendered itself obsolete.
- nine_k 4y agoA movie controlled by your reactions, with plot development unique for you is a good videogame.
- go_prodev 4y agoWhat if AI could respond to everyone sharing the experience in the room? A group of friends all contributing in some way. Afterwards discussing the parts of the film that they might have been responsible for willing into existence.
- dboon 4y agoNeal Stephenson in The Diamond Age describes precisely this. It’s a lovely read.
- go_prodev 4y agoThanks for the recommendation!
- selfhoster11 4y agoNo, thank you. I would rather not have the film playback software gaslight me in real-time. While I think this idea has a lot of potential, it bugs me too.
