AI Video of Tom Cruise Fighting Brad Pitt Has Top Writer Warning: “It’s Likely Over for Us”

A stunning viral video of Cruise vs. Pitt has 'Deadpool & Wolverine' screenwriter warning "Hollywood is about to be revolutionized/decimated," as MPA calls for the company to cease its "infringing activity."

"A stunningly realistic AI video of Tom Cruise fighting Brad Pitt has one top Hollywood screenwriter warning the industry is about to face major challenges due to the new and rapidly evolving technology, while the MPA has blasted the company behind the model."

That last 20% is where it will struggle. If you order a burger and it's 75% as good as standard are you going back? Getting that last little bit over the top that takes something from terrible to good is really hard. Even more for that last 5%. To get something truly excellent is very very difficult.

In the last Hollywood union strike and dispute about a year or two ago, for actors and writers and other Hollywood types, not using AI to substitute for screenwriting and acting is part of their new contract.

The general public won't bee able to discern that last 20%. And as far as hamburgers are concerned, a burger is near the bottom of the food chain. Does 75% really mean anything?

Ask McDonalds.

I know people like to trash the general public but the general public does not like mediocrity in the long run.

I ain't ever had a McD's or any big chain fast food burger in my life. It's just the way it is. However I've had some truly awful burgers. If a joint can't get a burger right then they can't get anything right.

I wouldn't be so sure about that, judging from popular culture.

See above. Sadly, a large segment of the population will eat what is available and they can afford, another (college students?) will eat whatever they can in large quantities. Taste be damned.

Pop culture these days doesn't really pay much attention to what people want. They just shovel out junk until they're forced to change. Have another super hero movie!

"They" wouldn't shovel out junk if people weren't gladly consuming it in large quantities.

People are consuming it at what looks like amazing amounts until an actual genuine blockbuster comes out and then you see what the true public purchasing power is. We're applying 1990's numbers to 2026. There are more people now, larger demographics to market too. The risks are bigger so production companies play it safe. Think of media cornerstones that are gone now that were here 25-30 years ago. Many of those mediums didn't need to die, they just refused to shift to public tastes.
