"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.

I use ai tools to fix spreadsheets, make schedules, and help me solve technology problems. I find it useful.
This just seems demented. This is a twisted caricature of a person that is just what studios and producers want. This is born of greed. Now your favorite "celebrity" can be sold to everyone. They can do cat food commercials. They can speak at any function. They can be sold as a virtual ai friend in your phone and they won't ask for a penny. GREED.
I don't shed tears for rich celebrities, but if making shows and movies with fake actors becomes the norm, the performing arts will be reduced to a sad husk.
Some might argue that the player piano did not replace pianists, but they're not looking at the whole picture. Technology that created automated and recorded music did replace a whole lot of live music, and musicians.
I'm sure the studios and the jackwagon "actor" who stuck her name on this will say that this is a means of expression and that the artist is not the brush, but they instead control the brush.
Not buying it. This is one place that should not be encroached upon. Without performers who think, feel and emote, the performances will be hollow. Of course, once it takes over, most people won't know the difference.
The arts won’t become a sad husk. I would bet more live events will become common again. Think plays and operas.
Or people will do what I'm doing: go back in time to when stuff was guaranteed not to be slop. There's thousands of years of literature from thousands of cultures to explore. I don't have to watch the latest shit Hollywood shoves at me.
