"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. Not she. Stop anthropomorphizing slop.
Totally agree, but they actually did a pretty solid job of making that distinction in the article. They put “actress” and “she” in quotes to begin with, and then switched to referring to the thing as “it.” They even put the word “film” in quotes, since it’s clearly not a film. I was surprised that the tone of this article was so critical, it’s heartening.
I suppose "film" is still accurate. It's still a movie, it's just an animated movie no different from the "live action" remake of the Lion King.
Ehhh could probably be argued either way, but whatever you may think of the live action Lion King, it was made by real people from start to finish, with people doing the animating, and actual human voices doing the acting. Whatever this video is is not that, IMO.
Why a film is a film isn't decided on how it was made. I don't imagine it's a good one though.
We use gendered pronouns when talking about cartoon characters
cartoon chars are more human than ai.
A cartoon character was created by a person with an intention.
Cartoon characters are written by people. This is a speech synthesis slot machine.
