Well it's not such a small world as all that, There won't be two companies making AI Television there will be 50. Each will have different strategies and attributes. From my perspective this is a cash grab. It's obviously working, and while I can respect the strategy and even to some degree the technology, To me it's like watching The Grammys in the modern day.
There's John Williams And Stevie Wonder, sitting in the crowd clapping as someone hands a lifetime achievement award To a person who hired another person To watch a drum machine play a preset because the person receiving the award doesn't know how to use the drum machine. (I literally saw this happen). Not sure how you would feel after years of work as a metal artist If clubs were trying to pay you and your band in free pretzels and you saw a news article enthusiastically explaining that Justin Bieber Had just been given a $20 million prize for winning "Best New Heavy Metal Artist of the Year". The next day you see a Twitter post with 75 million likes of Justin Bieber holding Randy Rhoads touring guitar that he just bought, upside down and pretending to use the whammy bar because he doesn't know what frets are.
Just for clarification, Showreel isn't Save Point, I just sliced off a tiny bit of the technology that I thought would be useful and helpful for people creating minor Youtube stuff, music videos, wedding videos stuff like that. The tech showrunner has is much stronger than showreel, but much weaker than Save Point. Save Point has to understand the nuance and structure of all video entertainment, Showreel has to understand how to edit a music video, Very, very different engineering problems.
I get what you're saying and I agree that in a perfect world friendly collaborative cooperative development would benefit everyone. That's not what I see happening out there though. I see cash grabbers grabbing all the cash and everyone who takes the time to get it right showing up to an empty bank. You have no idea how close that line comes to describing the 2000s era tech boom in the Silicon Valley. All of the frauds did a run on the VCS while hype was at its apex and wiped out the investment pool before anyone had any time To put together anything substantial (with a few notable exceptions). I really do understand why AI has gotten the reputation it has. 1 million cheap lazy cash grabs in the headlines and not an article to spare for any of the hard working researchers making the real progress. Sam Altman is an exception, But a rare one. You know about Apple intelligence, A company that had absolutely nothing to do with any AI development and bought it after it was done then used their marketing budget to take credit for technology they didn't develop (what's new Shrugs Samsung, maker of Apple's Applevision Apple pixel screen used in all iPhones) , but can you name one single researcher who actually helped develop The initial breakthroughs that led to all this? I'd also note that in this upcoming future medium, There is no longer going to be a dividing line between movies and television, At least not on the production end. I won't go into a diatribe about the history of these two formats, But it's mostly about market forces and use cases putting the same jello into two different molds. Soap operas were designed around the need to sell dish detergent. Guiding light and The Godfather Share about 90% DNA on the back end. There won't be any clean separation in the future of AI film/Television. Boats and cars look very different but both are propelled by the same type of engine.
Anyway none of this is intended to sound unfriendly or argumentative, I'm just neck deep in this specific area, and have my own perspective on the wit and competence of a world where more people know who lil Xan is than know who Nikola Tesla was. One of them invented The technology that powers our entire world and everything we do all day, and the other one is an actual important person that deserves global recognition and unlimited financial reserves. (According to Twitter). If someone crosswires a Pokemon card site into a chat GPT API They will be rich for life long before anyone developing An AI to cure cancer ever gets paid. That's for the same reason that I'm complaining about the tech from this post. You can get Talking Pokémon cards up and running by Thursday, but curing cancer is going to take a decade.
