What If My Life Was a Prompt? Can Google’s Veo 3 steal cinema’s soul with Hollywood films? Will code outshine human art? @guardian @WIRED What’s your take? #AIFilmmaking https://t.co/Iz5G1q4Kxj

@Uber_Support Hi DM me and I’ll share details. Driver basically showed and cancelled so I believe he cancelled using a loophole and kept the goods. I’ll message you details privately.

@ubereats_uk @UberUK Driver GPS showed arrived at my London address. Looked out the window – zero knock, zero call, no contact at all. I rang them and they hung up, then instantly cancelled the order. Left me with nothing. What’s going on with this service? #UberEatsFail

@wesleyvissers_ Keep up the great work. Victory well deserved!

[Nigel Camp @nigelcamp]

Anyone else exhausted by fake AI clips and deepfakes everywhere? Tech’s incredible… until context gets stripped away and even honest work looks suspicious. Your face in an ad you never signed off on? That’s the real blackout in AI video ... confidence, not power. https://t.co/H6aHkmtgJS

@ABAOProductions Promps can be used but ultimate play is manipulation by the pixel. A paint brush on a canvas will also give more control over a prompt. That said both can be useful

[Nigel Camp @nigelcamp]

Tbh prompts can allow an entry point for new and experienced creators. That said my belief is Hollywood and the next top tier films will win at the pixel level. Take an artist. Their advantage is their brush and not a language driven prompt. Content can be made both ways, but one offers more control.

[Nigel Camp @nigelcamp]

The “Hollywood’s days are over” talk is overhyped. I also flagged this idea of actors licensing their likeness like royalty-free music ages ago. I believe Hollywood’s golden era will be won at the pixel level and not from templates.
And no one’s talking about the crews who have propped up filmmaking for years. What about their longevity? Better tools, not replacements.

[Nigel Camp @nigelcamp]

Everyone's saying Hollywood is done because of AI. I say the next golden era is coming and will be won pixel by pixel. https://t.co/nVbfeYVzgb

[Nigel Camp @nigelcamp]

Something is happening in Hollywood.
The end of traditional stardom?
Actors are turning into royalty-earning IP, just like top musicians with their catalogues.
This could change everything for actor royalties. https://t.co/tDh1Z3Oa1j

"Who owns your AI video? You? The tool? Or nobody—until you prove it. 'I prompted it' many not hold up when someone re-cuts it with new voices or claims likeness. Proof > prompts. Post here - https://t.co/2RpHJmrDmm

My prediction.... AI will improve dramatically and offer great assistance to creators, but only if it's trained exclusively on data with a proven origin trail from their own set work. Otherwise, we'll see a YouTuber's entire back catalog repurposed without permission, or worse, someone's kids' faces stolen and used in campaigns they never consented to. Its early days

[Nigel Camp @nigelcamp]

@patrickbetdavid Totally agree. Also people forget it’s not just a Hollywood problem. What happens when a YouTuber or podcaster wakes up to their entire catalogue cloned onto a fake AI avatar? If programs can borrow from Hollywood, anyone’s fair game.

[Nigel Camp @nigelcamp]

@THR So what happens when AI trains on a corporate video and someone decides to use the CEO's face and voice in another campaign? It's not just a Hollywood issue. Or a YouTuber's entire back catalogue is scraped and re-delivered with a new avatar's face?

[Nigel Camp @nigelcamp]

@MattWalshBlog Deeper issue... who owns the IP for content generated from prompts? And what about YouTubers/podcasters spotting their back catalogues repurposed with AI avatars? That's a publicity rights and infringement nightmare and not just Hollywood's headache. Collision course ahead.

@nivleknasc Next one will be interesting ‘ Who Owns the IP, and How Do You Prove You Made It? ‘ - comes out Thursday

[Nigel Camp @nigelcamp]

Seedance 2.0 blows up with hyper-real AI video. Hollywood calls foul on infringement. Meanwhile, a lot of training data comes from material that’s already online, and the rules around permission, opt-outs, and licensing are still being fought over. The uncomfortable question is whether your work could be used without you ever knowing. Think a YouTuber’s back catalogue, a campaign shoot made for a brand, or something personal you shared online that later gets pulled into a dataset. Consent? Disclosure?

@nivleknasc I agree. I’ll be spending a lot of time on my site writing articles I hope will help people. You’ll see another 4 posts drop regarding AI over the next 4-5 weeks. It’s really sci fi atm.

[Nigel Camp @nigelcamp]

@nivleknasc And this comes next … well hopefully not

@JackKennedy It’s been interesting watching this all play out. Here's another angle on where ultra-realistic AI video gen like this could lead long-term https://t.co/nUwBjduzfV

[Nigel Camp @nigelcamp]

@tupacabra Here’s another angle for anyone interested -

One thing people aren’t talking about… What happens when independent work is trained on, recycled, and used from hard-working creatives outside of Hollywood? Think YouTubers and their back catalogs, plus promos made for corporate clients by small production houses. It’s only a matter of time before someone sees their hard-earned efforts reproduced, shared… with no credit.
