e. It's never been true. I can't believe it. It's almost like 100% of everything I learned, aside from math, 100% of everything I learned is just wrong.

So anyway, that's what we heard today. They have a reason why they may be losing ships in that particular place. They think it's something about rogue waves. Maybe. But if it's not any worse than anywhere else in the ocean, I'm not really that interested. There must be waves everywhere.

Once again, how many times if you're on social media and you follow any content about AI, how many times have you seen a video of a five-second clip where somebody says, "AI has turned the corner and now it can make movies. They're as good as movies. Look at this five-second clip." And then you think, "Wow, somebody's gonna put together a bunch of five-second clips and next thing you know, you've got a two-hour movie." But you don't. I've never seen one.

So yet again, I was seeing a post by the Code Monk. There's some new AI, PixVerse version five, that is doing ultra HD flawless motion movie clips. And the thinking is, guess what, AI has turned the corner and it can make a five-second movie clip and therefore any moment now, any minute, it's going to make a movie and then, well, you're going to love that movie 'cause it'll be so good. Do you think that there will be an HD movie in a couple of weeks? 'Cause I mean that's all it would take, right? You don't have to hire anybody. Just sit down and type your ideas into it and you change them as you go.

So who wants to take a bet? I will take a bet that there will not be a commercially successful AI movie in 12 months. Maybe someday, but my estimate will be that all these things that look like they're ready now, I don't think so.

And then I imagine doing it myself. I thought, all right... I'm not quite sure how to help you with that. Pipe down. That was my digital assistant piping in.

So I keep thinking about doing it myself, you know, just saying, "All right, I'm going to carve out some time and I'm going to turn one of my books, God's Debris, into a movie." And I'll just put every scene in and I'll say stuff like, "He's an old man and he's wearing a black blanket and he's super old. He's by a fireplace in this expensive house." And then it creates a scene and then I'll look at it and I'll go, "Hmm, I don't like that rocking chair. Make that rocking chair a little more ornate." And the trouble is I would never stop doing that. Probably every single element of the scene I would be like, "Yeah, I don't know if I want to put that dish there. Oh no, it should be a little less light." And I believe that I would end up spending exactly as much time, like a year to make that movie, as I would if I were a professional movie maker and did it the old-fashioned way.

So I've got a feeling that there are some traps built into just the process of making a movie that's going to be a lot harder than you think. And will the world be inundated with really bad movies because people who don't have much talent can make a movie? Will you be so tired of AI movies?

Do you remember one of my predictions that was counter to the world? I said that nobody's going to care about AI-generated art because the thing that attracts us to art is our mating instinct. We're attracted to the artist basically. That's why we're impressed by the art. If you saw the Mona Lisa and the Mona Lisa had never existed before and AI created the Mona Lisa, would it be hanging in the Louvre? If it had never existed and AI created it for the first time, would you say to yourself, "My God, that is the most amazing piece of art. That must be worth $100 million. We better put it in the Louvre." Or would you think about sending it to your friend and then think, "She's kind of ugly. This isn't going anywhere." And then you wouldn't even send it because it wouldn't even b
