There's a conversation happening on one of my LinkedIn posts that some of you might actually want to be in. Short version: I posted about employers looking for AI filmmakers — microdramas, UGC, ecommerce, previz, b-roll. A few people in post and VFX pushed back hard. The gist being that AI demand is a myth and the models aren't good enough for real work. And honestly, part of what they're saying is right. Nobody's finishing a feature with diffusion models. The technical complaints about res, gamut, dynamic range, spatial consistency — those are real complaints from people who know their pipeline. Where I disagree is the leap from "it doesn't work in my lane" to "it doesn't work." Anyway. I'm not asking anyone to go defend me. That's not what this is, and please don't pile on — that would make it worse, not better. But if you've got actual working experience here, especially if you come from post or VFX, your voice carries weight in that thread that mine doesn't. Someone who's done the work saying "here's where I use it and here's where I don't" is worth more than anything I can write. Link's below. Jump in if you want to. Totally fine if you'd rather not — no obligation either way. https://www.linkedin.com/posts/alexvachon_aifilmmakersdirectory-generativeai-aivideo-activity-7501735223743827968-W6Di?utm_medium=ios_app&rcm=ACoAAABL6UoB-5StahmOHzZWGDUu3lmCPQPKtYA&utm_source=social_share_send&utm_campaign=copy_link
