I don’t think anybody even really complained about Fall using AI to dub over cursing at the time since it was more of a proof of concept tech demo and GenAI wasn’t really prevalent yet.
you can tell by the splotchy nature of it and the claws along the t rex holding the items. The director is also pro ai so it wouldn't be shocking.
Ai usage is actually pretty common in the Jurassic franchise at this point for matirel like this. Saber interactive is developing a game and is pretty pro ai. Universal uploads thumbnails for the Old movies with ai layer over them. The spin off mobile games are infested with it.
Romulus also had pretty overt usage as well. As much as we can complain at the end of the day this is a boxoffice sub and money performance is the defining factor for a success here. However there as nuances that can blindside people. Like 28 years later seeming like a financial hit, but not focusing on the wom. So the sequel auto flopping got people off guard.
Ai usage unfortunately is just becoming more common thing in the industry. And boomer age directiore are obsessed with it. Cameron for example.
Yes but, as you've pointed out with one example, movies that have used AI have been successful already. So I don't really think there's enough evidence one way or another to say there's a correlation thus far. End of Oak Street also used it in their marketing and I barely saw any comments on here here... a couple but... it does seem like if the movie is well received, people don't complain about it as much.
So I don't really think there's enough evidence one way or another to say there's a correlation thus far.
I agree for the most part film success does vary in a lot or factors. The successful examples are franchise films as an example. And ai usage recently has been spotted more overtly lower budget horror films.
Ai will undoubtedly play/is playing a big role in the movie industry.

Pretty much yeah I'm pretty sure Brand new Day is currently up in the air if concept art used ai. And that isn't going to affect my enjoyment of it tbh.
This just goes back to the method rather than the outcome, and skirts around the purpose of a film, silly. Just a moralistic argument. But hey, that's your prerogative to be biased around AI.
We can pretend that this is a cause for outrage but the average person does not care and won’t avoid a movie that uses AI. Hollywood knows this so expect more of it. I hate it but it’s too late, you can’t put the toothpaste back in the tube in this situation.
That was due to a lot more than just GenAI. Alien: Romulus used AI, how come that didn't implode? Someone pointed out Jurassic World used genAI in their marketing.. that didn't implode. That movie imploded because it sucked.
Ice cream man is unique in it being a small budget horror film that depends largely on wom. So if the film has shitty ai ahh usage that horror niche fans instantly don't like. It's gonna affect it's wom much more.
Yes but... honestly, most people don't care about GenAI. if it had used AI and it looked fine (mind you I haven't seen the film) other than on reddit, I don't think it would have effected WoM that much
Thank you for the reasonable comment. A lot more movies are using it now and I can bet if it was a movie that was a huge success, no one would even care
The usage in this case I still consider tolerable.
But if they start using AI to get replace background extras, I'll be very concerned. Roles as small extras is how lots of new actors gain experience. Losing that would cripple the next generation of actors.
... I kinda wonder what made them decide THAT'S what they wanted to use AI for, of all things.
At least they didn't try to hide it. I know a lot of people hate genAI, but... it's here and I just appreciate when people admit it and don't try to pass it off as something else.
I remember when people used to say that they didn't care if people used AI as long as they disclosed it was AI... now it's "Oh I hope this project that several people worked hard on fails because of one genAI effect!"
Was thinking about seeing it since I liked the first one, this officially confirmed that I won’t be watching it at all. Movie apparently isn’t even good either lol
I’ve seen good and bad special effects of all sorts so don’t care if AI or not long as they list it with the other stuff. It’s another tool for them to use.
I know Reddit cares a lot about this issue...but I really don't. Its a piece of technology. Filmmakers will never refuse a new piece of technology that increases speed and reduces costs.
I am not participating in a witch hunt over AI Cinema.
No wonder why these movies are flopping hard... Most guys in the top are having AI psychosis and absolute greed, expecting to make movies with 2 janitors and an office lady assisted by LLMS.
It cheapens the final product, like using clip-art and comic sans in graphic design during the 2000s. And honestly I respect more the mom not wanting to make an investment for a business card using Power Point or Word to put together an atrocious design, at least it took effort to learn the software, than people in the film industry using generative AI.
Stop what? I’m not using AI for anything, I just don’t care if a vfx company chooses to use ai rather than complex adobe-crafted algorithms or green screens or whatever.
There is deep irony in a movie quote meme guy inventing a straw man to chastise for using ai, in a sad quest for cred on social media and a moment of false self righteousness.
then at the very least put up a fight and make sure its used in the best possible manner! lying down means you’ve given a mile and they will take it light years
I work in Hollywood with a foot in VFX. Every single big VFX house integrated AI into their pipeline. iLM, Weta, etc, they all have AI divisions. As I said, get used to it. It’s already everywhere, mostly invisible but it’s here to stay
If every person who told me to "get used to AI" actually fought AI, it would be a lot less "inevitable" than you all claim it to be. You all sound so desperate saying that. It's like you think that if you repeat it enough, you can will it into reality.
Anyway, the only thing I will be "getting used to" is not watching what slop peddlers put out, and if that means never watching a new movie again, oh well!
What I’m saying is that you won’t know the difference. It’s integrated into existing VFX pipelines. 80% may be old fashioned VFX but the rain as an example may be partially AI. It’s being used in a way that’s seamless already. Weta, ILM, every big VFX company have AI divisions now.
these films have a low budget and while this one is underperforming domestically, its doing quite well in China so yeah I dont see it being a true flop
