"The use of generative AI in creative fields has turned into a flame war - a nightmare of meaningless and derivative AI slop that we're seemingly unable to awaken from. The internet is being asphyxiated by incoherent AI-generated drivel as tech leaders continue to assure us that it's the future we've always wanted. Even Hollywood hasn't been safe from the onslaught, despite some of the biggest names in the industry publicly excoriating use of the tech."
"Now, noted director Darren Aronofsky - a renowned filmmaker behind films including "Requiem for a Dream," "Black Swan," and "The Fountain" - signed a partnership between his AI studio Primordial Soup and Salesforce, TIME Studios, and Google's DeepMind for an almost entirely AI-generated drama series about the American Revolution titled "On This Day... 1776." The first two three-minute episodes are already available to watch on YouTube, but we can't in good conscience recommend anybody to seek them out."
Generative AI has flooded creative fields with derivative, often incoherent content that many find meaningless and low quality. Tech leaders continue to promote the technology even as audiences and creators voice strong objections. Darren Aronofsky partnered his AI studio Primordial Soup with Salesforce, TIME Studios, and Google's DeepMind to create an almost entirely AI-generated drama series about the American Revolution called "On This Day... 1776." Early episodes and a teaser have drawn criticism for uncanny facial features, scrambled illegible text, and historical inaccuracies, and viewers accused the production of exploiting existing art and avoiding hiring real actors.
