The director of 'The Brutalist', Brady Corbet, faces scrutiny ahead of the Oscars due to the film's use of AI in editing performances. The movie, which highlights a Hungarian architect's assimilation in post-WWII America, utilized AI to refine dialogue pronunciations. Editor David Jancso explained the AI tools were necessary due to the complexities of the Hungarian language, despite training actors Adrien Brody and Felicity Jones. Amidst the social media uproar, Corbet emphasized the authenticity of their performances, asserting the enhancements were minor and maintained the core of their acting.
"Adrien and Felicity's performances are completely their own. Innovative Respeecher technology was used in Hungarian language dialogue editing only, specifically to enhance pronunciations."
"I am a native Hungarian speaker, and I know that it is one of the most difficult languages to learn to pronounce...We coached [Brody and Felicity Jones] and they did a fabulous job but we also wanted to perfect it so that not even locals will spot any difference."
