“What makes On This Day notable is that it was made by Darren Aronofsky’s studio Primordial Soup. What also makes it interesting is that it was created with AI. The third thing that makes it interesting is that it is terrible.”
Requiem for a film-maker: Darren Aronofsky’s AI revolutionary war series is a horror

@WarnerCrocker It's almost funny how terrible it is. Almost.
@WarnerCrocker @jaredwhite I'm starting to think that the auditory and visual acuity to easily spot "AI", and be horrified by the Uncanny Valley-ness of it all, is not actually shared by everyone!
A lot of folks simply can't tell that what they're hearing and/or viewing is fake, and will even argue with those who point out that they've been duped. 🤷🏻♂️
@ApostateEnglishman @WarnerCrocker @jaredwhite
If you're old enough to have witness the slow evolution of TV's screen from 4/3 to 16/9 and, by then, the mess of those 4/3 contents spread on a 16/9 TV, you know most people just don't care about what they're looking at.
At work, around 2006, I've been told by audio/video technicians they didn't care the picture was stretched as long as there was no black bands on the side.
Today it's AI generated video. They just don't care enough to actually watch.
@patpro @ApostateEnglishman @WarnerCrocker oof, I do remember that…my pet peeve with TV is that awful fake frame rate smoothing stuff. Any time I go into some establishment and see that, I want to yank the TV off the wall and yeet it into the sun! 😬
@patpro @WarnerCrocker @jaredwhite A pet peeve of mine is when they try to hide bad fight choreography by lowering the frame rate to make the action "jumpy", and using lots of close-quarters shots so it's difficult to even see what's going on. This may create a powerful illusion for some, but it only annoys me! Just train your actors better, ffs! 😆
@ApostateEnglishman @WarnerCrocker In the past I've had people mock me for being able to tell if a button is just a few pixels off on a screen (or me being bothered when that's the case). I agree with you, some people simply lack close observation skills for whatever reason. 🤷🏻♂️
@WarnerCrocker @jaredwhite Yeah. When I worked in IT, I once had a colleague who was sitting within yelling distance of the help desk, freak out that I could tell without leaving my chair that the reason her password still didn't work after a reset, was that she'd put a comma instead of a full stop in her username.
She wasn't visually impaired, yet could not see the mistake even sat in front of the monitor. 🤔
