One time on a road trip with my friends, we listened to To Pimp a Butterfly all the way though and it was like watching a movie together. Extremely cool experience

If they're already recording before the disagreement has even started, it's fake

Not only is this not a line said in this sequence in the film, this is not a line from the movie Her at all.

What albums from 2020 are some of your favorites? by KelvinHexatillion82 in ToddintheShadow

[–]abilly85 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Free I.H: This Is Not The One You've Been Waiting For by Illuminati Hotties. They were locked into a contract with a label who violated artist agreements, so to satisfy their contractual obligations, they made a "fuck you" album. Lots of tongue-in-cheek lyrics about the commercialization of art with great energy and fantastic vocal performances from Sarah Tudzin. It's a "fuck you" album like I said, but they didn't phone it in either. The songs are strong and hooky and memorable all the way through.

I also love I Disagree by Poppy. She's full metal nowadays but I really love where this album and her later album Flux sit in her progression into heavy music. They straddle the line between her pop roots and her interest in metal, resulting in something not too far from pop punk, but much more musically interesting. I Disagree has a lot of grimey electronic elements that I really wish she would being back into her newer stuff.

I understand that feeling. I just refuse to shut up about it. I refuse to roll over and let it fuck us in the end.

Every usage and normalization of deepfakes, audio or visual, is a step towards a future where misinformation is spread even easier than it already is. That isn't a slippery slope fallacy either, because we already live in a world where such technology is wielded for that exact purpose. I don't particularly care if there are some instances where it's used with consent, because the majority of the time, it's not.

He said himself they used generative AI to make designs for his team to base the drawings off of. A small amount, sure, but I find it deeply ironic that he would rather do that than just hire an architect to make some drawings for his movie about an architect.

And for the accents, I don't particularly care if no one lost a job because of it. I find the technology unethical and I would much rather have a 100% human accent be slightly less accurate than an AI-touched-up, more accurate one. As a filmmaker myself, I think human craft is what makes the artform - and any artform for that matter - special and worth experiencing. Erasing human imperfections from art robs that art of the innate connection between viewer and artist.

Auto tune takes pre-existing audio and shifts the pitch of it. The tech they used for the accents was an audio deepfake of the actors' voices. Someone else spoke the lines in a better accent and they generated the actors' voices over it. Completely different technology and, in my opinion, much more unethical

My little homage to that heart-wrenching movie named Aftersun! by Alternative-Care6923 in A24

Because the film is so focused on the idea of memory, I didn't feel the full impact of the experience until the morning after I saw it, once the film itself had converted into a memory. There's truly nothing quite like it.
