Likely many other, I’ve been grossed out by some of the shit getting churned out with generative ai. But it’s also made me notice some of the existing things that give me the same feeling.
Poorly translated stuff, as often seen on cheap Chinese imports, has the same uncanny valley awkwardness. It sounds like English, but it isn’t what an actual human who spoke English would say. And if we want to talk about an algorithm that’s gone rogue and is destroying the world while trying to fulfill some arbitary metrics, there’s always late-stage capitalism…
Anyone else notice things like this?
Super Hero movies
almost anything Disney produces these days.
I’d say more specifically, Disney’s live action remakes of their old films are slop. Though I’ve not watched a Disney film since Turning Red, they’ve not seemed appealing for a while now.
Oh God yes. The studio push for reboots, remakes and adaptations already runs the risk of by-the-numbers ‘creativity’, but those live action remakes are the natural progression. Not even a new take or reimagining, just a lazy, safe cashgrab.
I’ll watch it but be damned if I’ll pay for it.
