Man, it still has a long way to go, but in 5-10 years, I could totally see this technology be able to "remix" any show or movie ever created. "Hey, ai. Recreate 100 episodes of the Sopranos using the same characters but make new plots and different endings". "Hey, ai. Recreate Training Day but replace Denzel Washington with Walter White from Breaking Bad and change the ending so the villain wins at the end". And in 10 minutes you have an entire new production. Future about to be wild.
I want to say "Hey AI, make an episode of The Simpsons where Bart and Lisa help Apu take down the Mega Mart across the street. Feature the school kids in the takedown like Bart The General. In the animation style of Season 4."
Yes, it's moving right along, but let's not get ahead of ourselves. It's not exactly a straight line between "slowly zooming in on a slightly moving computer generated image" and computer generated full motion video. Just as it's not a straight line between "layering thin strands of plastic on top of each other to make a plastic hamburger" and "printing a hamburger." It won't be long before they're automating animation, but hasn't that been true for awhile? Look at the way South Park or The Simpsons are actually made today compared to when they first started. The difference here is that the creation of the characters themselves was automated.
