There are two kinds of creativity at play here. One is mashing together combinations of learned things - it’s kinda like shuffling a deck of cards where basically every shuffle gets you a deck that has never been seen and won’t be seen again, but it’s still the same 52 cards every time. The other kind is going outside of the box and inventing truly new, unseen/untrained concepts. This one is hard, but I don’t think it’s impossible - the <think> slop stirring the learned concepts with a bit of randomness should make progress here.


A new "AI challenge" -- can an AI make a hit movie (even if just for Netflix) in each of Documentary, Action, Thriller, Comedy, and Drama genres. This isn't art like the "Mona Lisa", but more like the ability to make "art" that has appeal to some level of the public. I think if an AI can do that, I'll be pretty impressed.

The prompt: "Create a feature length [Action/Comedy/etc...] film that can borrow elements from existing films, but would generally not be considered a copy of any given film."
