The Oscars officially don’t care if films use AI

  They shouldn’t care since “AI” doesn’t actually exist.

  But it’s icky because the issue of remuneration for legacy actors remains the unspoken part here. Actors train for their whole lives and these models have the potential to undermine the value of these actors.

  Ahh the great hivemind pendulum where if something is hyped and has some notable cons, it’s time to throw it away completely and resist it without prejudice.

  This is happening with crypto too. To me, it just signals that a person is highly perceptive to adopting whatever the hivemind tells them to think without question.

  Obviously crypto and AI have some properties that make them utterly horrible (especially in the hands of bad people). But they also have some properties that have the capability to revolutionize or accomplish certain things like no other technology can.

  No one seems to acknowledge this dichotomy when they’re unflinchingly under the influence of the hivemind. For example, I’m 100% positive that this comment will get downvoted heavily.

  I don’t have a problem with AI in filmmaking but I’d have a problem if AI actors were suddenly winning awards in the acting category.

  Its probably better this way.

  Otherwise you end up with people accusing movies of using AI when they didn’t.

  And then there’s the question of how you decide where to draw the line for what’s considered AI as well as how much of it was used to help with the end result.

  Did you use AI for storyboarding, but no diffusion tools were used in the end product?

  Did one of the writers use ChatGPT for brainstorming some ideas but nothing was copy/pasted from directly?

  Did they use a speech to text model to help create the subtitles in different languages, but then double checked all the work with translators?

  Etc.

    Also AI isn’t only LLMs and image generation, it’s a massive field that’s been used in different things for decades. “No AI” would mean “back to snipping movies using practical effects together from spools of film”, as basically every CGI and editing software uses something “AI” in it these days.

    Or worse, all movies lying into everyone’s face that they don’t use AI much like they have been doing with the ‘No CGI’ lies in recent years.

  Why would they change? The AI tools in movie industry have been doing miracles for decades. Especially when it comes to tracking and replacing things in footage, which jumpstarted the new era of CGI. OP, do you also want to ban movies like Avatar?

    Yes! The CG on Avatar took away jobs from real Navi that could have played the part. But they had to get them to look exactly like the human actors. Pathetic.

      I was talking about CGI. Video editors and special effects, not actors. The editing part. You know - software?
