It's surprising that the article doesn't mention the ongoing strikes in Hollywood [1], driven largely by concerns about the use of generative AI in film production. [1] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2023_Hollywood_labor_dispute...
So not sure why it needs a mention in the article.
Edit: I stand corrected, not all of the strikes are over. However it does seem like coverage of it basically ended once the writers strike ended. I had no idea it was still going on. I don't even see it on Instagram anymore.
This is ironic. If you had to pick a patron god of generative AI, it would definitely be Loki.
That was actually the plot of an old X-Men comic. Loki came to earth and started granting wishes. Basically turning regular people into Forge-style creative mutants. One was a master architect who gained the power to realize anything he dreamed of. But the X-Men later realize the gift is tainted; it's powered by human creativity. The architect discovers that while he can fabricate any structure he ever imagined, he c…
Not being able to think creatively sounds scary but there’s also the alternative which is dying without doing things. Like, you could potentially make it a worse trade that sounds less scary by just making it trade years off your lifespan in exchange for creative execution and I think that’s not crazy. It’s actually fairly banal considering all the things we do to survive today.

if you checked the link you posted it even says the strike is over. So not sure why it needs a mention in the article. Edit: I stand corrected, not all of the strikes are over.

What's wrong with using generative AI?
After a brief period of fascination, it's become a synonym of low quality and low effort. See e.g. the relevant KitKat campaign: https://www.creativebloq.com/news/kit-kat-ai-ad
However I think Loki brings up an interesting question. Wether or not "AI" art could become its own style? Like to me the Loki series would benefit from those inconsistencies, weirdness, etc that comes from an AI generating art.
Not that a Human can't do it, but the results would likely be different.
Not really defending its usage here, just an interesting thought I had about this in this particular use case. It happens to fit the theming very well.
