Director Blows $1.5 Million Generating Horrendous AI Slop Movie, Says AI Actually Saved Him Tens of Millions
“But the end result is that the million and a half he did put in was to churn out obvious slop.”
What happened
A production company spent $1.5 million and ten months making an AI-generated Christmas movie, "Merry the Christmas Witch," with human actors' performances swapped out for AI voices. Its director says a studio would have needed $80 million, so AI saved tens of millions; the film currently has no distributor.
