OpenAI will be debuting a film at the Cannes Film Festival. With a budget of $30M or less, and a timeframe of 9 months, the slop they turn in will cost a fraction as much and take a fraction as long to develop as the slop Hollywood normally produces. FWIW though I did find the little video in the WSJ article entertaining, in a deeply unsettling, uncanny-valley kind of way.
Eh, I think I’ll just rewatch episodes of Bluey instead.

No, look at this, it’s fundamentally awful! It’s a stylistic decision to omit the mouths of the characters that leads to more expression through the eyes and overall design. The AI is incapable of understanding that and FORCES mouths onto them because things need mouths. Especially the one on the right where like, ugh, what the fuck is going on there. It’s gross, I hate it.
It’s like those high-res texture packs that just upscale everything for the sake of upscaling it and loses all artistic merit or cohesive aesthetic in the process. Fuck this.

The one on the right looks like it has an engorged tick for a nose.
