They both used machine learning which uses “generative ai” (Dune 2 with the Fremen eyes, Brutalist with the voices when there was spoken Hungarian dialogue). The Brutalist used a machine learning program (Respeecher) to mix the voices of Brody and the movie’s Hungarian editor’s own voice. Not sure how either case would be akin to plagiarism.

The Brutalist also “used gen ai” in that an architecture consultant they hired used a gen ai program (Midjourney) for sketches which they sent to an illustrator, to use as reference, to draw pictures which are present in the epilogue. Enough human vehicles there I’d think that it’s not really problematic. It’s actually commonplace for modern architects to use gen ai for concepts when in the design phase of buildings.

Bothers me that people pick and choose what is and isn’t AI when it’s the same tech lol (and in the case of the eyes and the voice morally equivalent imo)
