  I hope the theater is half empty and the audience just walks out after 15 minutes.

  My guess is the audience simply won’t care and the movie will do reasonably average, depending on the script.

  Sure here on a niche forum like Lemmy we care about the incredible energy waste, the artists being exploited, etc, and that “AI art” only looks good from a distance with all the little details being screwed up at a close examination. (When it’s not a lovecraftian horror right on the surface - see “bloopers” in that video in the article)

  But the general public? To them “AI” is: Haha, funny Ghibli filter.

    I would hardly rate the Cannes film audience as the general public, these are people who have made movies their lives, I'm sure they will all welcome AI made movies lovingly. /s

      I feel like the Cannes public will be like Anton Ego from Ratatouille and I only see two possibilities: it goes well or it goes badly.

      That’s a good point, I didn’t know much about the Cannes film festival, but after looking it up I agree with you.

      My comment would only apply if it sees a public release.

        The movies at Cannes don't even have to make sense really, it's a celebration of art, film, the spirit of human creativity, of humanity. It's a bit of a slap in the face imo.
