"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.

It's probably a bit more complicated than that.
When Star Trek: The Next Generation was remastered in HD, it required a) direct access to the film reels, b) complete re-editing of the film from scratch into the episodes, and c) completely new effects, since the original ones had been done on video post-film transfer.
For a sitcom, c probably doesn't apply, but b and even a are potentially huge costs.
I wouldn't say huge costs, but yeah ai is gonna be cheaper than standing up and physically fetching the reels
