What if the film is an AI ad itself, which could be seen as the media that spurred consumers to buy products calculated to have generated more than $500k in profit? 

(Such as the Coca-Cola AI Christmas commercials.)

This revenue can come from digital purchases, rentals, theater ticker purchases, or ad revenue. The premise, writing, and direction can come from a human, but the visuals and audio must come from an AI model. Some human editing is permitted, as long as over 99% of all the pixels and audio data in the film is not manipulated by humans using conventional editing tools.

There doesn't need to be direct evidence of an AI film meeting this threshold, but if it can be reasonably inferred it has met it (such as obtaining 500M+ Youtube views), this will resolve yes.
