Which parts of the trilogy are ai generated?

    Didn't they resurrect some dead actors in these ones?

    Rogue One had FX inserted versions of Tarkin and Leia, and Ep9 had existing footage of Carrie Fisher written in. It was pre GenAI, though, and more likely programmatically generated in the former case, and the latter was just pulled from the cutting room floor from Ep 7 and 8.

    CGI is not AI generation

    I don't remember for sure what techniques they used for the recreation, but I had thought they used some deepfake technology (which was in use well before "from scratch" image generation by AI model was feasible). Maybe I'm wrong - though I'd bet that's what OP meant, regardless.

    OP responded and then deleted thier response. They're trying to say the script was ai generated, and the deepfake was ai, which didn't happen for either thing.

    lol OK then.

    I suspect the deepfake did use AI though. The "deep" in "deepfake" comes from "deep learning" i.e. deep neural networks. That was the technology used at the time, though as I say, they could have used a different technique.
