Star Wars' Showcase of AI Special Effects Was a Complete Disaster
Briefly

Disney appears committed to leveraging generative AI for advancing the Star Wars franchise, but a recent demo from Industrial Light and Magic showcased troubling results. Despite being labeled a rough test, the demo, which aimed to illustrate a probe droid's exploration of a new planet, presented generically designed creatures reminiscent of Earth species, leading to criticisms about the creative limitations of generative AI and its inability to capture the essence of the Star Wars universe.
Disney's strategy for Star Wars seems endless, relying on generative AI for new content, but early demos indicate a lack of originality and appeal.
The AI-generated creatures in ILM's recent demo, resembling poorly assembled Earth animals, raise concerns that generative AI fails to innovate creatively in storytelling.
