You are forgetting that as the tooling gets better and the capability of individuals increases, so too does the capability of a group of individuals working together, using the same tools you would be. You are still not going to match the level of quality as a talented team pooling their experience, time and cognitive abilities to create something. This team can also afford more compute capacity, to the same thing in half the time, or the same time at twice the quality, so to speak.

I am excited at being able to do exactly the things you mentioned, and I definitely plan to. But I dont live under any illusion that the capability of one man will supercede the capabilities of a group that uses the same "equipment" per se.




Maybe, maybe not, not all groups are created equally. I cite in another comment about Stardew Valley being made by one person while, say, EA games are made by teams. I consider the former much more well made than the latter. So too can there be such examples in this sort of AI media generation tool usage.


Yeah, I'm skeptical that generative AI is really that different from other new filmmaking technologies (or new technologies in other creative fields), although it may be premature to say. Will individuals create good films that it wasn't feasible for them to do alone before? Probably. Will that mean large teams are obsolete? Probably not.
