Movies Made With AI Can Win Oscars, Academy Says (bbc.com) 24
Films made with the help of AI will be able to win top awards at the Oscars, according to its organisers. From a report: The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences issued new rules on Monday which said the use of AI and other digital tools would "neither help nor harm the chances of achieving a nomination."
[...] The Academy said it would still consider human involvement when selecting its winners. The Academy said its new language around eligibility for films made using generative AI tools was recommended by its Science and Technology Council. Under further rule changes announced on Monday, Academy members must now watch all nominated films in each category in order to be able to take part in the final round of voting, which decides upon winners.

The title is a bit misleading (Score:1)
I thought the title meant 'Movies made entirely or mostly by AI can be so good they could win Oscars.' But the article actually means 'Movies that use AI to some extent during production won't be disqualified from the Oscars.'"

In a few years all movies will have some AI effects in them. Taking a stance against AI now wouldn't help the Oscars.

They allowed hack writers who can't even be bothered to follow their plot books to fill in the blank an almost random collage of tropes. It was almost algorithmic already.
So what about the other rule causing waves? The one where they must VIEW the movies they vote on?

Human creativity is hallucinated nonsense with an intelligent filter applied to pull out the patterns to which we can assign meaning. AI should manage without that filter once in a while, just due to random chance.
It doesn't seem like an efficient art generation method, though, since you still need a human to be the intelligent filter and go through all the AI-generated crap to find the gems.

It does automate and focus the whole "hallucinated nonsense" part quite a bit, specially if you're using text generators instead of pictures.
Of course you still have to apply your intelligent filter and actually make the implementations, or you end up with cenobite shit.

For LLM it is more the other way round. Without guiding them the output is not very creative, but they are good at judging texts.
I wonder what is really needed for AI to get creative.

The fault is mostly on the "director" that accepted all these wildly different designs and made a pastiche of "cool looking but barely moving" gifs pretty much.
It's not very different from hiring a bunch of random artists and giving vague descriptions of each scene of em, without any sort of reference art.
Real artists work with references, storyboards and all that to keep consistency, but many "AI artists" just give the picture a quick glance, say "yep, it's done" and post on the net, then throw a spat when

Of course movies can be made with AI, as long as it is sufficiently woke.

Just like with CGI in 90's, we'll get five years of movies that feature AI instead of a decent plot, dialog, or acting, before movie producers stop dorking around with AI for its own sake and start using it more sparingly, as a tool to enhance a quality product, rather than an alternative to having to make a quality product.
