On the subject of batshit movies, I am *totally* here for the idea of one big budget Hollywood AI-generated blockbuster in particular:
"When Crungus met Loab"
(The basilisks that lurk in the depths of the text-to-image AI models need to have their own romance)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crungus
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loab
@cstross bruce sterling was all about Crungus back during the LLM Seduction/Subducktion phase of the Racter Bubble
@cstross Crungus and Loab and their origins...this is some absolutely useless information forever etched in my memory from now on. This is why I´m here 😆
@cstross Loab has *such* potential
@davidgerard @cstross in the third act they are both eaten by a solid gold magicarp
The best part, given what news/magazine reviewers have had to suffer today, is that they can write the reviews ahead of the movie even being made, or even greenlit.
Google's AI refused; but I just asked #Bing to write a review and #MicrosoftCopilot just did so.
It gives the movie 4/5 stars.
So it's only a matter of time until the #Wikipedia article and Movies #StackExchange questions. (-:
