#4Was it? He concludes that LLMs will never write Shakespeare, or create original work of that caliber, or animate an actor the way Ben Guinness could have done it. I'm paraphrasing but isn't this confirmaation bias from a guy now heavily vested in making movies? Move 37 was so astonishing the world champiion Go player, hardly known for theatrics, got up and left the table. It was considered an insanely "original" move. In every field we don't consider deeply "human," Ai has jumped light years ahead, in astonishing ways. Affleck is entitled to his opinion and seems like he's trying to understand things, but I think poetry, acting, music, they're all on the table until they aren't, for better or worse.

#5Fun fact: Justine Bateman of Family Ties, once the most famous TV actress in the world, holds a degree in computer science from UCLA.

He even contradicts his whole premise of "actors will always be necessary" with his example of a custom generated series episode.
Also,

*facepalm*

I like this analogy. If one piece of software can win a game then a completely different piece of software can win at making movies

#8> library of vectors of meaning and transformers that interpret the context
New phrase from a hollywood actor.

How soon though? 2 years? 10? 50? He starts by saying this won't happen soon, _maybe_ ever.

It has yet to be seen if this can truly be generalized and if such an analogy holds.
Go is a game constrained by an extremely narrow set of rules. Brute forcing potential solutions and arriving at something novel within such a constrained ruleset is an entirely different scenario than writing or film-making which occur in an almost incomprehensibly larger potential "solution" space.
Perhaps the same thing will eventually happen, but I don't think the success of AI in games like Go is particularly instructive for predicting what can happen in other fields.
