How Soon Can We Create Full-Length Movies or TV Episodes with AI?

I wouldn’t be surprised if we see the capability for generating long episodes by the end of this year. But you’ve got to remember, the quality may vary immensely, and right now, generating films with emotional depth and coherence is still a big hurdle.

To overcome the hurdles of creating full-length films, we need two major breakthroughs: 1) Autonomous agents that can understand the whole filmmaking process—from script writing to casting and editing—and 2) The ability to generate longer, consistent video clips instead of just short segments. With these innovations, I believe we'll see AI-driven series and films in the next 3 to 5 years!

If you're talking about remaking something like a 2-hour Game of Thrones episode, I’d say we're looking at a timeline of 5 to 20 years. However, for more typical movie-making where scenes switch frequently, I believe we could achieve decent quality output in about 2 to 5 years—especially as technology advances and becomes accessible for home use.

Honestly, I think it could take more than 5 years, potentially stretching to around 20. While we are seeing some progress in AI video generation, many issues remain, like syncing sound and ensuring video quality. Unless there are significant breakthroughs soon, it's hard to envision full feature films becoming a reality.

I think we might be jumping the gun a bit. Yes, some tools are nearly there, but to create a full-length feature with the same quality as human-made productions might still take a decade at least. We need better technology for coherent and creative storytelling before we can seriously think about AI-generated full movies.
