In announcing the series, Time Studios President Ben Bitonti said the project provides “a glimpse at what thoughtful, creative, artist-led use of AI can look like—not replacing craft but expanding what’s possible and allowing storytellers to go places they simply couldn’t before.”

Except the whole reason AI can do this is we have gone to this place so many fucking times. There have been thousands upon thousands of works visually depicting the American Revolution which it is copying. It’s not a terribly difficult period to film.

It seems pretty well established that people disapprove of his use of AI here, but I would also be interested in commentary on the rest of the product.

I wouldn’t consider this AI garbage to be “usable video”. The fact that there are people that do is depressing.

It’s important to note that On This Day… 1776 is not fully crafted by AI. The script, for instance, was written by a team of writers overseen by Aronofsky’s longtime writing partners Ari Handel and Lucas Sussman

A team of writers for this crap? Legitimately?

Of all the things to brag about not being AI.
