At Busan's Asian Contents & Film Market, directors debated whether AI will homogenize filmmaking. Kim Sung-soo showed a teaser for Worm Train, a Kafka-inspired short made with Kling AI, saying he now believes image value still comes from human intervention. MooAm's Harry Hyun warned AI images start looking alike when everyone uses the same lighting, keeping art directors and cinematographers essential; Li Wei (Big Fish & Begonia) noted instant results ease crew feedback. Advice for learners: study framing and lighting, then match shot choices from films you love in your own generations.
