Brilliant framing of the paradigm shift from "slot machine" to VFX suite workflows. The observation that creators are moving away from single-prompt gambling toward layered compositing fundamentally changes what it means to direct AI-generated content. What strikes me as particularly significant is how this mirrors traditional VFX pipelines where control comes from decomposing complex shots into manageable elements. The real leverage isn't in finding the perfect prompt, it's in understanding composabilty across models and learning which tool excels at which specific visual task.
