Because you need to prompt 500 times to get one scene the way you wanted
For example “the 8 bit guy” on YouTube got an existential crisis and made an awful “movie” and in the behind the scenes he complained that he had to prompt like 30 times per scene and chose the better of the worst to create his unwatchable abomination
The compute cost would be more, but a lot of it is getting the AI to generate something semi-passable, which the AI is not designed for. It is instead designed like a slot machine.
But let’s assume it had the ability to generate not only semi-passable slop, but real art. It would require a lot more interactions than just prompting, and that would immediately take away the power fantasy of AI bros being able to feel like Steve Jobs or any other CEO, who were called “creators” for being nothing more than the idea guys.
How the fuck does an AI film cost 1.5 million to make?
