I hope so, then those of us who want to tell a story (writers, whether comic or novellist or short story or screenplay or teleplay or whatever) will be able to compete more and more on quality and richness of the story copy and content to the audience, not with the current comparative advantage of media choices being made for most storytellers based on difficulty to render.
Words on page are easier than still photos, which are easier than animation, which are easier than live-action TV, which are easier than IMAX movies etc.
If we move all of the rendering of the media into automation, then its just who can come up with the best story content, and you can render it whatever way you like: book, audiobook, animation, live action TV, web series, movie, miniseries, whatever you like.
Granted - the AI will come for us writers to, it already is in some cases. Then the Creator Economy itself will be consumed with eventually becoming 'who can meme the fastest' on an industrial scale for daily events on the one end, and who has taken the time to paint / playact / do rendering out in the real world.
But I sure would love to be able to make a movie out of my unpublished novel, and realistically today, that's impossible in my lifetime. Do I want the entire movie-making industry to die so I and others like me can have that power? No. But if the industry is going to die / change drastically anyways due to forces beyond my control, does that mean I'm not going to take advantage of the ability? Still no.
IDK. I don't have all the answers to this.
But yes, this (amazingly accurate voice cloner after a tiny clip?! wow) product is another step towards that brave new world.
