ChatGPT-maker OpenAI is backing the production of a feature-length animated film created largely with artificial intelligence tools, aiming to prove the technology can revolutionize Hollywood filmmaking with faster timelines and lower costs. The project has a budget of under $30 million and a production timeline of just nine months -- a fraction of the typical $100-200 million cost and three-year development cycle for major animated features.
