đŸ€– AI-Directed movie ‘The Sweet Idleness’ releases trailer amid AI actor Tilly Norwood controversy: ‘the first movie’ made by an ‘AI agent’

Variety

The film is “conceived to celebrate the poetic and dreamlike language of great European cinema” and directed “by an AI agent” called “FellinAI,” according to a statement.

This is gross. And not just because it’s removing the humanity—an essential component of art—from the creation, but it genuinely looks terrible. Can you imagine sitting through two hours of this ugly monstrosity? And yeah, I know, the tech will get better and not look this bad—eventually—but god is it ugly today.

Platformer

On Tuesday, OpenAI introduced Sora, an iOS app that lets you create and share 10-second, AI-generated video clips in a feed. It was designed to look familiar, OpenAI employees said in a live broadcast on Tuesday morning, and indeed Sora closely resembles TikTok, Reels, and YouTube Shorts.

Apparently, a tech company has at least a couple of vertebrae left in its spine. I’m sure those will be gone soon, though—cause they already essentially offer their services to the government for free.

đŸ€– Business Insider reportedly tells journalists they can use AI to draft stories

The Verge

A dedicated FAQ reportedly addressed whether journalists can explicitly use AI to assist with writing first drafts. “Yes, but you must make sure your final work is yours,” it answered. The guidelines stressed final products must be the journalist’s own work, however, adding that journalists would be responsible for stories under their name.

What’s the end-goal here? Are journalists going to work themselves out of a job? Does BI think this will produce a higher quantity and quality of journalism? And what happens when AI starts training on all the AI journalism? Does the world just
