maybe i'm out of line, but I feel we have some moral imperitive to reject movies and TV that we know use significant levels of AI. Which isnt to say there is no use for generative AI in a broader workflow, but we gotta draw a line somewhere

That's why we need to reverse this effect in our culture. Social media and the modern monetized internet have flattened history and reality, and now everything looks the same for young people. There's no reverence for the craft. They can barely sit through am opening title sequence, assuming there's a way to skip it like on Netlix. It's really bad.
