I’ve been meaning to create a topic about the use of Artificial Intelligence in horror films (and art in general), whether it is a bane or blessing, both or neither. But it is here and it’s gaining steam quickly.
I’m not as negative on AI in the arts as many seem to be. A lot of the negative stems from the public use AI platforms that rely on content easily found on the internet to base their modeling on. Not all of the content is public domain. But lawyers and lawsuits will take care of that. Still, how much is the reliance on the work of others is actually discernible given the multitude of variables sucked up by AI modeling? How easy will it be to prove there has been a swipe if it has been radically transformed? And how transformative a product is will have a lot to do with a legal outcome. We’re heading into uncharted territory that is going to be fascinating from both a legal and technical standpoint.
And what about human artists who regularly point out how they are “inspired” and “influenced,” sometime “unknowingly,” by the work of others. How much of their work is truly original? How greatly does that differ from how AI works.
Private AI platforms, say those created by studios, will be programmed with content the studios own to avoid legal entanglements. But the public use platforms are another matter—at this time.
And then there are the AI horror experiments already out there. I have to admit that I have found a goodly portion of them to evoke the uncanny, to be unsettling, to get under the skin more successfully than anything I’ve seen from studios in years.
I’ll be posting some examples here.
