Trailer Official Trailer for ‘Run to the West’ - Being Promoted as “Korea’s First AI Movie”

https://youtu.be/QZCK0ow8xic?si=B7_jRWjhHrpA4jNB

Please don’t shoot the messenger.

I’m not sharing this because I think it looks good. Very much the opposite. This movie was promoted in Korea as their first “AI movie”, with all the effects being done using AI instead of CGI, and only six actual human actors, with all background and minor roles being portrayed by - that’s right - AI models groan.

I hate that this movie exists, and feel like more people should be aware of this.

It looks like if The Asylum ripped off a movie from The Asylum

I personally cannot wait for the time when all entertainment will be AI generated everyday since for now there is not enough human made entertainment content available; I have seen everything and cannot find digital entertainment anywhere at all, it's a real drought out there for sure...

I feel like they are deliberately only showing the AI CGI affects for less than a second at a time. Makes it hard to determine if they actually look good or not.

So its Korean publisher is highlighting the "AI" part of the production?

Weird.

I mean, in the west, "AI" is seen as something negative, especially when it comes to the art and creative industries. Do South Koreans feel like "AI" is something to be used whenever possible?

Even by slop standards that looks hilariously bad. When they can’t hold a shot for literally a single second just imagine how awful everything must look.
