Director Darren Aronofsky is Out With a New Series That is Entirely Generated By AI

The usage of artificial intelligence in the film industry is getting out of control. While many big names like James Cameron, Steven Spielberg, and Guillermo del Toro openly vented out their concerns against the usage of generative AI in the film industry, Darren Aronofsky, the director of “Black Swan” and “Wrestler,” has oddly chosen to embrace it instead.

A new short-form web episodic type of series with the title “On this day…1776” was recently released on the official YouTube channel of TIME magazine, which is based on depicting the historical chronicles of the American Revolution, as revealed through its plot description, and features the struggles that were experienced by its founding fathers like Benjamin Franklin, George Washington, etc., for an independent nation.

Darren Aronofsky’s Primordial Soup studio was the main culprit who partnered with Google DeepMind in order to embrace storytelling in generative AI, and as a result, “On this day…1776” came into inception.

The series looks awful and it feels like it shouldn’t have been made in the first place at all, that too under the tag of Darren Aronofsky, who is perceived as a humanist among the film fraternity. It aimed to focus on photorealism, but ultimately failed in perfecting it in other aspects, even though SAG actors’ voices were used for its dialogue generation. Although this attempt can be seen as out of the box, artificial intelligence can never replace human creativity. The series can be watched online, which is standing out with an IMDb rating of 1 star.
