"The news comes as the adoption of generative AI - with varying degrees of success - is hitting a fever pitch in Hollywood. Major entertainment companies, including Disney and Netflix, are already experimenting with the tech. The push could have devastating consequences for working creatives. Experts have long warned that the tech could wipe out human jobs in the animation industry, especially as tools like image and video generators are becoming increasingly capable of spitting out believable materials."
"OpenAI has teamed up with production companies in London and Los Angeles to create a feature-length animated movie made largely with artificial intelligence. As the Wall Street Journal reports, the purported goal of using AI tech on the movie is to speed up production while also saving costs - and, presumably, serving as a giant tech demo for movie execs everywhere."
OpenAI partnered with production companies in London and Los Angeles to produce a feature-length animated film primarily using artificial intelligence. The project aims to accelerate production timelines and lower costs while showcasing AI capabilities for the film industry. The film, titled "Critterz," follows forest creatures on an adventure and traces back to a short created by creative specialist Chad Nelson. Major studios are increasingly experimenting with generative AI, but technical limitations persist and many AI outputs require human creative intervention. Widespread AI adoption in animation raises concerns about potential job losses for industry workers.
