Just as in film Making, make your audience see what you want them to see. If they believe it, then it becomes less important how it was achieved

Keep your eyes peeled for the term “generative cinematography.” Sooner or later it’s going to be a big deal..
.
There’s already “generative design.” That usually means a 3d model constructed by the application of blind algorithms on a virgin digital form. A very organic analogy would be erosion or water blasting. Subject a mound of earth to water and call the result a sculpture. Similarly, you might subject a 3d block to “fuzzing” or “desiccation” or other processes that when layered and tuned produce very interesting forms via almost random processes..
.
This kind of work is already being done a lot in CGI. But I believe it is also starting to appear in editing and purely photographic cinematography. Today’s video is a timelapse montage of Google Streetview imagery. You can create such a hyperlapse manually by going in and just grabbing thousands of screenshots. Or, you can do it algorithmically and write a program to navigate through Streetview and grab the images for you. That’s how @paulreiss and @jonasnaimark did it. This video is several years old and is only the simplest example of such generative techniques. More and more those with the technical skills to build such programs will turn them towards art..
.
Soon we might see auto-editing algorithms used not to speed up an edit, but infuse new creativity into it. We might see settings on gimbals and remote heads that move the camera in certain random patterns. Or, even screenwriting programs that spit out plot twists or randomized story arcs. There are many people who love to lionize the past and prophesize the creativity-crushing nature of new technology. Don’t listen to them. More options almost always lead to more creativity. “Automation” won’t replace artists, it will make them more powerful.
