Eliza McCont is not a stranger to the new media. Its 2017 project, The fist of the starsVirtual Realty had an interesting look at the birth birth, while following it Circle Find the death of black holes and stars. Now with her short film PaternalMcNet has tapped Google’s AI tools to tell a deep personal story. Working with Google Deep Mind and Director Darren Arunofsky’s Studio Primardial Soup, McNutt used a direct action footage and a combination of AI -Infield Media to tell his traumatic birth story.
The result is an unusual dramatic short where the true emotions of direct action performance regenerate the artificialism of AI. The film begins when the lead (Audrey Course, McNet’s mother playing) turns into an emergency delivery of routine care. Since then we hear his opinion on how her children and all living things in the universe are connected – the poetic nature of Terrence Malcolm films. We jump between ASA’s performance, AI footage and macro and micro photography. Finally, Ersa had a baby that was inserted by Google’s AI, which used the indicator, which made it look like a newborn.
There is no escape from the enthusiastic shade of Google’s AI ambitions. This is not just an art film – this is an attempt to legalize the use of AI tools through the sound of McNet. This remains a problem when Google models, including VEOs and other Deep Mind’s technology, were trained in pre -existing content and copyright tasks. A dignity from Darren Arunofsky’s Production Studio is not enough to erase this actual sin.
“I was challenged to create an idea in which AI could be added,” McNet said in an interview on the Engit Podcast. “And so to me, I really wanted to tell a deep personal story in such a way that I was not worth it before … AI really provided the opportunity to access the worlds where the camera could not be, from the universe to the inner world of mother’s uterus.”
When it comes to justifying the use of AI tools, which can currently be described as a reliability technology, McCont says it is a decision that every artist has to make for himself. In the case of PaternalShe wanted to use AI to accomplish difficult tasks, such as the photographs taken by her father, the formation of a computer -made newborn baby that looks like her. He found that real newborn is more moral, and the results are more convinced by a doll or CG artist than something dynamic.
“I felt that the use of AI was really important for this story, and I think it depends on every artist how they want to use and explain how they want to use these tools,” he said. “In this project it was something else for me where I really had to explain a strong limit where I didn’t want the actor to become AI actor, (he) had to be a human with a soul. I do not feel that a performance can be regenerated by a machine. I believe that humanity is very important.
For this purpose, Macent also worked with dozens of artists, also worked in sound, imagery and AI media. Paternal. There is a problem that AI’s video tools will allow anyone to plug in some gestures and produce projects out of low -attempt footage, but McNet says it cooperated closely with a team of deep -minded engineers who made indications and found the results to find the results. (Before I ask him about environmental concerns using Generative AI, we are over time, but at this point we know that it needs a certain amount of electricity and water. It also includes demands of training models as well as demands to run them in the cloud).
“In my view, as (Generative AI) develops, companies have a responsibility not to take copyright content and respect artists and set these limits, so that the artists do not take advantage of them,” said McCont. “I think this is a really important part of our character as human beings. Because, in the end, these are human stories for other human beings. And so, you know, it is important that we are at its center.”
