Even Martin Scorsese uses AI for storyboards. Can the art survive?

Summary

Hollywood directors are beginning to adopt generative AI, with James Cameron joining the board of a gen AI firm, Steven Soderbergh using Meta-powered tech for animations in a John Lennon documentary, and Christopher Nolan conceding AI will create some useful imaging tools. Storyboard artists, who draw the panels that map out scenes before filming, are the group most directly threatened, as text-to-image programmes are poised to replace them. Martin Scorsese announced a partnership with an AI firm and used its text-to-image model in storyboarding his next movie.
