Is this not Midjourney for TV, with all that implies? Especially when half of Hollywood is striking and many of the rest are doing their best not to cross picket lines.Īctual writers, directors, editors, effects workers, and millions of others are warning of the dangers of AI - not that it will destroy life on earth, but that it will be employed as a cost-cutting measure by clueless executives, eliminating livelihoods and reducing creative work to a self-perpetuating algorithmic mess. Cue Jeff Goldblum talking about how just because they could doesn’t mean they should. On a GitHub page, the processes that interact to perform this complex task are detailed, with the appropriate examples and diagrams.īut ultimately the whole thing seems monstrous. The technology, it should be said, is fairly impressive: Although I wouldn’t say the episode is funny, it does have a beginning, a middle and an end, and distinct characters (including lots of fake celebrity cameos, including fake Meryl Streep).
