The debate over using generative AI in movies has reignited, thanks to the impending release of Late Night With the Devil. The period horror film, which hits theaters this weekend, stars David Dastmalchian as the host of a Johnny Carson-era late-night talk show who invites a possessed guest to boost ratings on Halloween night. From there, things get quite demonic.
由于即将上映的《与魔鬼的深夜》，关于在电影中使用生成式人工智能的争论重新燃起。这部历史恐怖电影将于本周末上映，由大卫·达斯玛尔奇安饰演约翰尼·卡森时代的深夜脱口秀主持人，他在万圣节之夜邀请了一位被附身的客人来提高收视率。从那以后，事情就变得很可怕了。
But Late Night With the Devil has been facing criticism from horror fans online after social media users identified the film's use of AI-generated illustrations for interstitial art — i.e., the title cards that such shows use to say things like "We'll be right back" coming in and out of commercial breaks. Cameron and Colin Cairnes, the Australian siblings who wrote and directed the film, responded to the criticism in a statement to Variety, and Dastmalchian also addressed it in a new interview.
但是，社交媒体用户发现这部电影在插播广告中使用了人工智能生成的插图，也就是说，在插播广告时使用的标题卡上写着“We’ll be right back”之类的话，因此，《与魔鬼共舞》在网上遭到了恐怖粉丝的批评。该片编剧和导演是澳大利亚的卡梅隆和科林·凯恩斯兄弟，他们在给《综艺》杂志的一份声明中回应了批评，达斯马尔基安也在一次新的采访中回应了批评。
"In conjunction with our amazing graphics and production design team, all of whom worked tirelessly to give this film the '70s aesthetic we had always imagined, we experimented with AI for three still images which we edited further and ultimately appear as very brief interstitials in the film," the Cairnes said. "We feel incredibly fortunate to have had such a talented and passionate cast, crew and producing team go above and beyond to help bring this film to life. We can't wait for everyone to see it for themselves this weekend."
凯恩斯夫妇说:“我们出色的图像和制作设计团队孜孜不倦地为这部电影赋予了我们一直想象的70年代美学，我们在三幅静止图像上试验了人工智能，我们进一步编辑了这些图像，最终作为非常简短的插页广告出现在电影中。”“我们感到非常幸运，有这样一个才华横溢、充满激情的演员、工作人员和制作团队，他们竭尽全力把这部电影拍得栩栩如生。我们迫不及待地想让每个人在本周末亲眼看到它。”
Meanwhile, journalist Kevin McCarthy tweeted a clip from his recent interview with Dastmalchian, in which the actor addressed the controversy. (McCarthy also noted that Late Night With the Devil debuted at last year's SXSW festival and was filmed before the recent strikes by Hollywood writers and actors, during which AI was a sticking point in negotiations with studios.)
与此同时，记者凯文·麦卡锡在推特上发布了一段他最近对达斯马尔吉安的采访片段，达斯马尔吉安在采访中谈到了这一争议。(麦卡锡还指出，《与魔鬼共舞》在去年的SXSW音乐节上首次亮相，拍摄于最近好莱坞编剧和演员罢工之前，在罢工期间，人工智能是与电影公司谈判的一个棘手问题。)
"The only thing that makes me sad is we had such an awesome graphics design team, and all these artists who were working on making this film so perfect, so it makes me sad that this is a story that's getting attention, but I get it," Dastmalchian said. "That is something that we've learned a lot in the last few years since we made this movie."
“唯一让我感到难过的是，我们拥有一支如此出色的图像设计团队，所有这些艺术家都在努力使这部电影如此完美，所以这让我感到难过，这是一个备受关注的故事，但我理解，”达斯马尔基安说。“这是我们在拍摄这部电影后的几年里学到的很多东西。”
