When AI is used in movie making
I cant wait to watch the Malaysia Singapore co production of a Chinese movie on the Pirate Queen.Everything from scriptwriting to the cast and movie props and setting background and music are all AI generated.Its coming to the big screen in July so its with suspense i await.Anyway we watch anime and manga except that now actors and actresses are enacted through AI so how realistic will they appear ?
Will they retain the human touch or be artificial replicas.?
im not against advances in technology but only wary of its abuse by unscrupulous people.
Deepfakes have the potential to cause breakdown in social communications and conflict.
Also im skeptical if the authorities want to normalise robots to integrate them into society by humanising robots.Fine if they take over dangerous and heavy work ,in lowering cost of production,in emergency disaster work but its not acceptable to treat them as part of the human society.so making robots that can dance or sing or draw or run marathons or play tennis or chess is dehumanising real humans and virtual things become more real than the real thing.Isnt it ironic when virtually created humans are acting in films about the lives of real humans.When the fake replaces the real,have we descended into a distorted world view when we cant distinguish the virtual reality from actual reality.thats samsara literally.
i saw a celebrity movie star promoting tourism Guangzhou but im not interested in the urban architecture of stately mansions and culinary delights I see that a lot in Malaysia from the buildings and temples n food .The Lingnan architectural style is the same in the Chan Academy Clan ancestral hall in Guangzhou and Kuala Lumpur..i prefer something with different scenery like deserts or snow mountains or karst caves.what intrigues me is to explore the human interest of hero and heroines like the gambling house of pirate queen Zheng Yi Sao ,the cave of loot by Cheng Pao ,the Amah Ma Jie maids of Shunde or historical parts of Canton linked to Malaysian Chinese like Yap Kwan Seng and Loke Yew.Now who is the man Chan Sow Lin in which a road is named after in KL?He contributed a lot to building the Tung Shin hospital a holistic East Western integrated hospital
,the Sin Sze Ya temple in Petaling Street that mom and family goes for prayers on New Years Eve,establised the Confucian Chinese school and Victoria Institute in Kuala Lumpur.
