1. Programmers invent AI
2. Executives use AI to replace programmers
3. Executives rehire programmers for thousands of dollars an hour to fix AI mistakes.

One thing I’ve noticed with newer movies is they do a lot more “tell, don’t show” than old movies.

For example, compare the live action Disney Cinderella to the original animated version. The live action version is mostly a voiceover telling the story of Cinderella. They literally say “Her stepsisters weren’t very good at art or music” and then have a scene showing them being bad at art and music. The animated version spent the first 20 minutes or so like a Tom & Jerry cartoon.

And this is across movies. I watched Predator recently and there wasn’t a lot of exposition about how they’re there to fight communists or whatever. You pick that up in snippets of dialog in between the action.

It really does feel like movies are dumbing down.
