AI Just Attacked Hollywood - and You’re Missing It

Runway Gen-4 Is Raising the Bar for AI Video

Alright, if you’re even remotely interested in AI video, you’ve gotta check this out—Runway just dropped Gen-4, and it’s genuinely one of the wildest upgrades we’ve seen.

We’re talking cinema-level motion, consistent characters, dynamic lighting, and multi-angle shots—all from just a single image. No complicated setup. No fine-tuning. Just your vision + one still frame = a full-blown AI-powered video scene.

It’s like having a whole animation studio in your browser.

What makes it even crazier? You can hand it a reference photo and watch it generate videos with that same character, moving realistically, across different angles and lighting setups. It's basically AI cinematography for creators—without needing to know VFX or 3D.

What This Means:

  • Cinematic AI videos are now beginner-friendly – You don’t need fancy software or technical knowledge to create pro-level video content.

  • Solo creators can compete with studios – A single person can now produce animated scenes that look like they came from a Hollywood team.

  • Brand videos, story content, promos—it’s all possible – Just upload one image and describe your scene. That’s it.

  • More creators will enter the AI filmmaking space – This makes the barrier to entry lower than ever.

  • Now is the time to start experimenting – Early adopters are already using tools like Gen-4 to go viral, build audiences, and even get paid for their content.

And this isn’t just another flashy tool with no real future. Runway just raised $308 million, backed by Nvidia, Fidelity, SoftBank, and General Atlantic. That’s serious firepower aimed at building the future of AI filmmaking—and making it accessible for all of us.

So look. All of that is awesome, but as it stands right now, the REAL question is this… Is Runway the BEST compared to other tools?

Tbh, I use Kling Ai for the large majority of my work, BUT recently, I’ve been testing it against Runway to see which one is better.

Anyway, If you're serious about using AI to create, grow, and actually monetize your content—we help you do exactly that inside the Skool community.

NEWS & UPDATES
ChatGPT's image generator had Viral Chaos

Let’s talk about the biggest AI news and updates this week and what they actually mean.

1. OpenAI Accused of Using Copyrighted Data

So, this is a big one. A new study just revealed that OpenAI’s models including GPT may have memorized entire sections of copyrighted books and news articles. The researchers used a clever technique with “high-surprisal” words to catch the model red-handed. If true, it adds major fuel to the lawsuits OpenAI is already facing. Fair use? That line’s getting blurrier every day.

2. Google’s Gemini 2.5 Pro Pricing Drops

Google just dropped the API pricing for Gemini 2.5 Pro, and yeah—it’s not exactly budget-friendly. You’re looking at $1.25 per million input tokens and $10 per million output (and that’s just up to 200k tokens). The model’s incredible at reasoning, coding, and math... but with prices rising across the board, smaller teams might feel the pinch.

3. Devin AI Gets Cheaper, But Is It Better?

Remember Devin, the AI software engineer that blew up last year? It now has a $20 entry plan. Sounds great, until you realize that only gets you about 2.25 hours of “active” coding. Cognition says Devin 2.0 is much smarter now (better planning, citations, even documentation)... but devs are still unsure if it can handle complex, real-world codebases.

4. ChatGPT's image generator Viral Chaos

This thing was everywhere last week.. Since OpenAI launched image generation inside ChatGPT, over 700 million images have been created in just 10 days. The Ghibli-style art went so viral that it broke servers, delayed product updates, and even led to a feature rollback.
Also, apparently India is now ChatGPT’s fastest-growing market. Wild.
