What's the future of storytelling?

We've all seen AI generate beautiful videos from a text prompt. It's impressive, but we don't think that's its true destiny. The real future of AI in storytelling isn't just about creating beautiful content; it's about helping us craft stories that make us feel.

Picture this: A creator is building a world. Instead of just prompting and waiting, they're actively directing the AI in real-time. It s like a live gaming experience for the creative process, helping them instantly visualize the stories and world they're imagining. "Show me what's down that cobblestone alley," they might say. Instantly, the AI generates the scene with visuals, ambient sound, and a rough voiceover. This allows them to iterate rapidly, making the story more emotionally touching and truly fun to explore and play around with until the beat feels perfect. Then, the AI can handle the "last mile" work of rendering and polishing.

In this vision, the human is always the source of the core idea, the vision, and the emotional truth. Crafting a prompt will no longer be a technical chore; instead, the entire creative process becomes an entertaining experience. The AI is simply the powerful tool that helps us capture and share those feelings more effectively than we ever could alone.

So, what's the future of storytelling?
