"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

This is hilarious, why didn't get just use the many existing original posters?

Probably because of personalisation. I assume the idea is to eventually present you a hyper targeted advertismebt of a poster (if they aren't already).

Good point! It's probably some weird A/B testing.

Or, if they just wanted to get a shot of Kirk from this movie, they could screenshot any of the tens of thousands of frames of him from that very movie, which they own and for which they are making the thumbnail.
