Wired reports that Amazon’s biblical drama House of David used between 350 and 400 AI generated shots in season 2, about four times more than season 1. Showrunner Jon Erwin says he turned to tools from Runway, Luma, Google, and Adobe to cut costs and build large scale battle scenes, landscapes, and fortresses. He argues AI lets small teams deliver grand images quickly while keeping cameras on real actors. Critics across Hollywood warn the approach threatens jobs and lowers artistic quality, despite audience growth inside the show’s faith focused channel. Erwin calls for transparency and says AI is now part of modern filmmaking.
