Scandal Erupts in Cannes Over AI-Generated Films

On screen: sometimes strange scenes: mutants and hyper-realistic characters that look almost real.

At the same time, the industry is clearly moving towards AI: major studios and renowned directors are starting to invest in the technology, as it allows films to be made much cheaper. But there is a problem: even viewers note that after hours of AI content, live art still feels stronger.
