The concept of an ongoing, customized storytelling expertise is sort of cool (though, for my part, it will take away the communal facet of popular culture), however Russo instantly took it to an oddly ghoulish place along with his instance. ” You would stroll into your own home and save the AI in your streaming platform,” he mentioned, in keeping with Collider. For instance: “‘Hey, I need a film starring my photoreal avatar and Marilyn Monroe’s photoreal avatar. I would like it to be a rom-com as a result of I’ve had a tough day,’ and it renders a really competent story with dialogue that mimics your voice.”
That is proper: Joe Russo’s major instance of AI as the way forward for storytelling includes casting oneself in a love story reverse the picture of a real-life lifeless movie star whose public legacy is famously studded with exploitation and objectification. We actually simply received accomplished speaking about how upsetting it’s for folks to mess together with her picture specifically, but with the entire world of AI at our fingertips, Russo apparently imagines we’ll all flip into Harry Types’ character in “Do not Fear, Darling.”
Granted, the filmmaker would not truly appear to make an express judgment name about whether or not this situation is an effective factor or a nasty factor, but it surely’s a reasonably nightmarish portrait he is painted right here and he later went on to say he is “excited” about AI as a result of it alerts the “democratization of storytelling.” He additionally defined that, within the Monroe instance, the know-how might mimic the person’s voice in order that “instantly now you’ve gotten a rom-com starring you that is 90 minutes lengthy. So you possibly can curate your story particularly to you.”
