As someone who has studied cinematography, I'm not worried about tools like this. Visual storytelling requires intention that AI can't provide. This will probably be fine for improv comedy with simple reaction shots, but those tend to lack photographic intent anyway.
Films like Children of Men and Drive, that tell their stories through visuals more than exposition, will still require a trained eye to craft for the foreseeable future.
I mostly agree with you, except:
It should be "that AI can't provide yet". The intent can be provided via elaborate prompts. It is just that the output from current generative AI isn't up to that level yet.
Give it 5 years, and AI might be able to do what you mentioned.
I don't think an AI will ever achieve new things like the dolly zoom or bullet time. AI can replicate these things once they already exist, but humans are brilliantly absurd and we make strange new art all the time.
Your perspective is very black or white. This tech can have a HUGE impact on human and our endeavors without needing to replace us.
