100% I’ll never agree with taking away jobs from people just to “generate” some images. And I don’t agree with using it at all for my personal work, definitely not when it comes to writing. Not even to generate ideas, lol I’ve tried fooling around with those ChatGPT things and they generate the most cliche ideas lol.

But in the case of like the voice filter, I question well could they have achieved that with a little extra work? But do I actually care that much that they tweaked s*** a little wit AI? No I don’t.

I have more of an issue with the accent thing than using AI to create building renderings tbh

Like that gives them an unfair advantage when it comes to awards considerations in a sense.

I’m not a fan of AI either, and would greatly prefer it not being used at all. But the reality is that it is going to be and soon from artists we praise for their creativity. Knew it was a fight already lost when Paul Schrader of all people praised using AI

Should be disqualified from awards shows for using AI

Not thrilled about AI accent correction being used but also not pissed.

It’s not like there’s even a lot of Hungarian in the movie

Just an odd choice when no one but Hungarians would ever recognize an inaccurate accent

dont like AI for backgrounds, really hate AI for performance tweaking

Award shows should just get rid of the production design category in a few years since no real people are going to work on it, unless you’re luckily in a budget that can pay artists

Nailed it. What disgusts me about ai "art" is how it's devoid of any humanity. It's completely cold and ugly. All it does is steal references from actual human artists and regurgitates it as something else entirely.

@ChatGPT Lock the thread for me.

It should be disqualified from being viewed

Brady Corbet is a shameless hack. Will never watch a film of his as long as I live

Locking the Better Man thread 🥴 I'm about to go see it, open it up

This is a vital time in the stand against AI technology that can and will ruin this medium forever if it goes unchecked and unpunished. At least I'll be able to say I did my part

What they use AI for?

Kubrick would be using AI in his movies if he was still alive.

Alright, I tried

I def still need to go see this.

New technology always takes jobs away from people man.

why do you think this?

That’s because Paul Schrader is a visionary creative artist. AI is just a tool can be used in good and bad ways. As you said earlier using it for lazy stock pictures in that Late Night w The Devil movie is a bad way to use it, enhancing Hungarian accents so that it sounds more accurate for Hungarian speakers is kind of a ingenious way to use it imo. But some people already piss their pants and throw a tantrum when they hear those 2 letters.

Because he was a huge technology freak and was always using the latest hardware and software he could get his hands on. He was a visionary artist that was always pushing the boundaries and innovating. Also wasn’t so concerned with what some ppl itt call ‘ethics’.

Someone itt made a good point about how altering an actor's accent detracts from their performance. And they're absolutely right. There's a significant difference between an actor genuinely committing to authenticity vs relying on some artificial bs to "enhance" it.
