You would probably have heard the phrase, AI will take away our jobs, or AI will replace us. Never did I expect in Singapore, it is happening, in the entertainment industry. AI in a show isn't new. In China, their low budget micro dramas are now mostly AI. In Hong Kong, when TVB released their drama that uses AI actors, Netizens slams it as fake and question why with so many actors available, why the need of AI? But being a big TV entity in the industry, it remains to be seen if this AI show is a one time thing.
Now fast forward present day, a local production, a Singapore movie is using all AI in the show. And yes, there are many actors available here and across the causeway. The only reason would be the budget. How would the audience view it? Do they even know that it is a AI show? I really think that unless you are watching a computer game story cutscene, being AI generated is acceptable. Even computer games prefer real actors for their cutscene. So far only local cinema operator Golden Village is showing the AI movie Trace Project. The other operator as I checked, did not have this movie for show.
