From what I've heard Iqiyi is having financial issues so I wouldn't be surprised if they're producing AI as a…
Oh really? I didn't think iQiyi would have such issues, since iQiyi is like one of the dominant companies in Asian entertainment industry, but even then I am sure they do have connections and networks that are interested in partnering with them, so I don't think there would be a lack of budget.
Very good point and something that all companies, or a vast majority, falls into when looking at cutting costs.…
Automation and robots perform manual tasks. Acting, directing and producing dramas falls under creative expression. I don't think we should compare them.
Personally, I favor incredible acting over visuals. Sure, I do like handsome and beautiful people....but if their acting is not great, I would lose interest in them. I also don't like plastic surgeries that are done purely for cosmetic....but I guess I have no say on that matter, and its up to that individual.
And I don't think older actors should be discarded....they can play roles that could suit their age. Its so hard to come by films and shows portraying old age in a realistic manner, they can act in them....and I think if someone loves the film industry they wouldn't just readily agree to give AI their face likeness.
Industrial revolution, automation, IT - the changes that AI brought is quite different imo. Humans are an unique species because of their ability to imagine and create and AI is a threat to it. If AI is doing both physical work and creative work, what's the purpose of humans?
To give an example, think about traditional painters....people who paint on canvas. Digital painting came into picture but traditional painting didn't die, it became more premium and more appreciated. Both traditional paintings and digital paintings are created by humans, though the digital medium is lot more easier, quicker and efficient. And its up to the individual to what medium to choose to paint. But AI is not a medium. When you give a prompt, AI generates a painting. Even if it was a human who gave the prompt, it was an AI who generated it. Lets say a canvas painting takes 8 hours, a digital painting might take 4, but the AI-generated one takes only 5 minutes. And you can't even call it your own creation. I don't know how the market will adjust because AI has given us a very complicated situation.
I understand that individual writers and directors with no financial backing would see AI as a boon, because they can showcase their storytelling to the world without a crew. But I find it very ridiculous when big companies like iQiyi starts producing AI dramas.....when they have ample budget to afford a drama with real actors. Already unemployment is on peak and now AI is kicking out more people in the entertainment industry. This is so sad. MDL should stop promoting or writing about AI shows.
Ok can someone tell me why AI generated images are being added to the Photos section of this show? Shouldn't the photos be from concerts, fanmeetings, interviews, show stills, etc? I am okay with fanart, but AI created ones....
Halfway into the drama, and I think that each episode is emotionally draining. They are emphasizing on Jung Woo's struggle as the banned writer who had given up writing so much to the extent that it begins to feel a bit exaggerated. Same conversation is repeated over and over again. But I believe a person's emotional struggle can be shown through just emotions and expressions and not the main character or any other character saying it aloud and repeating it again and again.
Hold on China, please hold on! I am unable to catch up with you at this rate. Where were you all these years? Now you are dropping BLs left and right at the lightening speed. Please have some mercy on me, I don't have enough time to keep with your pace. I have still got 200+ BLs pending to watch.
One thing is for sure, MDL produces endless KSH news articles, because both KSH fans and haters will have a battle in the comments. More traffic and engagement, who wouldn't love it?
