Yeah, I had no idea, so, my bad. But I mean — you've got your all-film, no animation, no CGI, no AI movie. Then for a step up, you have some practical effects with some really brilliant trickery. I'd say like the first Star Wars, or, I suppose, Who Framed Roger Rabbit if that indeed applies. Then of course you have Disney and Japanese animated films, and CGI stuff like Toy Story and Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within... and, I suppose, eventually we'll have more AI in movies.

I don't like it either, but I feel like it's inevitable. I do not count myself among the ones who support this future or will go out to see these movies.

I also remember how Bruce Lee was killed doing stunts, and then so was his son Brandon. If one day we can say "stunt performers used to die but don't anymore because we changed the way we do special effects," that would be a good thing, albeit with tradeoffs. I'm not trying to strawman here. I'm just a guy who likes movies. And while I do like some animation (mostly, from Japan — and it feels like they'll be on the forefront of this, though the big AI tech bros seem to be American or European), my favourite type of films are the ones with real actors. (Never mind that my all-time favourite film is animated. 君の名は。, or your name. outside Japan. I'm sure it has some CGI. Since it came out in 2016, I don't think it was made with AI.)
