AI filmmaking will create more jobs than it displaces

Oracle Summary

Ray Wang lands at 58/100 (moderate) for fantasy economics. Classic 'AI creates jobs' comfort narrative without structural analysis. Wang directly denies displacement concerns and offers only the claim that 'more people making films' will offset job losses. No evidence of wage analysis, worker transition support, or acknowledgment of who captures AI productivity gains. Minimises Hollywood worker displacement by framing startup success as job creation while the article itself notes AI eliminates steps requiring human labor (equipment, actors, sets). Speculative claim presented as certainty.
