Has anyone thought this through to its logical conclusion? If we're constantly resurrecting old talent using AI, or whatever the tech du jour is, then won't we stagnate culturally?

    Culturally, scientifically, intelligently, you name it we’ve reached the peak. AI is just recycling what humans have thought and said, According to our new ai overlords we just coast from here

    The endgame for this insane push for AI just seems to be to enforce a global surveillance state, nothing else.

    That's why the push to build all the AI data centers does not match with the demand for the tool.

    Culture isn't defined by the use or abuse of AI.

    It's a tool when used creatively with full public knowledge, and a weapon when it's used to surreptitiously decieve.

    As an artists tool for seamlessly putting a character into a story, is it any different than how videogames are made with an actor's face slapped onto another actor's motion captured movements?

    It's not like the aforementioned film producers are trying to hide their use of it.
