Given the amount of talent and thought that goes into a well written novel, an AI trained on a sufficient richness of cultural knowledge should have everything it needs to work with to turn that novel into a compelling motion picture. Which will lead to a change not only of movies, but of books themselves.<\/p>\n
Once authors begin to realize that their novel can convert directly into a movie, they will start to write with that goal in mind. We will see a new set of writing styles, optimized for feeding into AI visualizers.<\/p>\n
After all, a lot more people are likely to see the film than to read the book. Which means that a novel which converts readily over into a compelling movie experience can be far more lucrative to an author than proceeds from the book itself.<\/p>\n
