Whatever, he’s on the same category as that Uwe Boll loony.

    I want to see people and stuff made by other people, not corporate wankery, these pieces of shit can lock themselves in with their AI’s and rot for all i care. Make the matrix for billionaires call it the the misanthropy torment nexus.

    What an idiotic take.

    “Celebrity” worship has existed since the dawn of cinema. Star Power is what brings people into the theatres.

    People have always wanted to know all the salacious gossip about their favourite celebs, and that’s what makes Hollywood go around; they want to fell like they “know” their favourite actor/director etc…

    For example:

    • The only reason anyone remembers "Mr. And Mrs. Smith is because its the movie that gave us Brangelina and broke up Pitt and Aniston.
    • “The Whale” was a mediocre movie at best that won awards in part because of Brendan Frasier’s comeback after being shunned in Hollywood.
    • Martin Sheen being legitimately drunk and cutting open his hand created an iconic scene in Apocalypse Now.

    I could go on and on. Point is, actors being themselves into the roles that they play.

    You can’t replace that with soulless homunculi that have no life off screen.

    He’s absolutely right. Nobody will care because movies will have become such utter shite that nobody will be watching them.

    Can’t care about things that you’re not seeing, right?

      Given that 99% of the utter screen diarrhea Hollywood tries to sell us, hard to imagine it can get worse.

        Funny. I was saying that c. 2000. And year after year they found new lows, even if they had to hire a backhoe to reach them.

    When I watch youtube videos, within the first 30 seconds of a video it’s pretty easy to tell if it’s AI.

    If it’s AI, I will click the dislike button, and click the back button.

    I don’t care if AI improves in two years, and it’s perfect in every way. It’s still AI. I still hate it, and refuse to watch.

    ROFL What a lukewarm take, I’ll fucking care all the time! I hate LLM slop, and don’t need that shit in my life.

    I really don’t know how I’d feel if a movie or actor was entirely AI.

    We’ve already had some instances, like Tarkin in Rogue One. Felt a bit ok because the actor was dead and they wanted to reuse the same character. Though, I didn’t see a reason the character had to look the exact same. A recast would have been perfectly fine.

    But an entirely new character as AI? Feels like taking the easy and cheap way out. At the same time, actors, animators, and everyone else surrounding the production are kind of a byproduct of trying to bring a vision/story to a medium. I think I’d look at something that used AI to that degree as a lesser product, even if I like the resulting movie. Something that just uses AI as a part of the whole movie making process though? I don’t think I have a problem with that.

      Just pointing out, Tarkin was not generative AI. That was a CG overlay of a real actor, same as what was done for the ‘deaged’ Luke in the Mandalorian.

        Guess I misremembered, but I don’t think it changes my opinion.

        It’s still Mark Hamill underneath the deaged character, right?

          I think Mark Hamill may be underneath there for some of it, he was at least on set while filming, but most of it was done by Max Lloyd-Jones. It is Mark’s voice of course.

          But yeah, I didn’t think it really matters to your points, just wanted to point it out.

    At least they can’t take AI out of site of parents and molest them. At least they will not ask AI to trade sex for roles. At least AI eliminates nepo babies.

    There are a few silver linings here.
