I went to Runway's AI film festival. I was skeptical, but the crowd ate it up.

Runway, an AI video startup, hosted its largest AI film festival at Lincoln Center's Alice Tully Hall, showcasing 10 AI-generated short films. The event featured discussions with Runway's co-CEO and director Ron Howard, who expressed optimism about AI's potential in filmmaking. While the author found the films generic and unimpressive, the crowd responded positively, and the technology was acknowledged as advanced.
