Now canceling the show mid-story by Season 2 will be cheaper than ever!
Why only the effects? They could generate the series or movie on demand based on your algorithm recommendations! A great way to cut costs on this nasty expensive storage. (/s)
Streaming services are soon going to be like mobile gaming. Literal tons of low effort shit copying off each other so it’s almost impossible to just browse the store and find anything with real quality.
Is it not already that way? Browsing around on (pick any contender) is mostly just b-rate shit to me anyway.
At least its b-rate shit created by real human beings.
I’ve been crawling through Star Trek: The Next Generation on P+. Go old-school and you’ll avoid all this!
Good advice, thanks
The new star trek, strange new worlds is also good. Modernised but keeps the flavour of older ones.
Glad they are finally cutting costs at least. Will be nice to see the subscription cost finally drop for a change instead of perpetually getting jacked up with no improvements in the service provided. So when does the lower cost subscription start?
Too lazy to fill in the lines of text but your last question goes in the last box with Padme.
I’m divided because on one side AI is taking away many jobs that now outputs low quality shit. On the other hand, AI may allow small creators to see their vision become real with tight budgets, specially in countries without a strong movie industry.
Netflix were outputting a lot of low quality shit before AI got involved.
I’m sorry but you’re a clown if you think AI is going to be a tool used to help the little guy. Is like zuckerberg claiming Facebook will help connect and bring us together.
the problem is AI is trained on art by small creators who don’t get compensated for it at all.
To me it’s fine to use for personal hobbies, but as soon as you start trying to make money with it or even just present it publicly you get into murky waters.
A boomer coworker recently said something that made a lot of sense to me: Netflix is for 2020s TV what Motown was for 1960s music. They’ve turned the artform into a production line, constantly optimising to shovel out as much content as possible, hunting the minimum viable product, and occasionally, very rarely, producing something good almost by chance. L
not here to defend any corporation,
but TV was corporate slop before netflix.
sounds like your coworker just wanted an opportunity to bitch about motown. this phenomenon isn’t unique to motown either.
netflix continues to suck film at 11
If it doesn’t mean it’s noticeably shitty then don’t care
Do what you want cause a pirate is free
I’m not even surprised, but I’m disappointed.
Does it make it look worse? No? Then it doesn’t matter.
it sure does matter to all the VFX artists who’s work the AI has been trained on without their consent, and who now aren’t getting hired because the plagiarism machine is cheaper
And we all know that VFX people are already super appreciated and always well-compensated for their work.
Also the damage to our environment. The llms use a bunch of energy and fresh water.
I mean, they’ve been using “AI” to write scripts for at least a couple of years (Hot Frosty and The Gray Man were obviously not thought nor written by a human, for example), so I guess this was inevitable.
Wasn’t The Gray Man based on a book? Yeah it was… not good, but is there evidence of AI in the script?
