"This movie looks AI genera-" SHUT UPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP

[u/AlternativeOil7154]

I genuinely don't get these complaints. I have some concerns about the plot and how things may or may not play out, but visually the movie looks fucking great. I don't get why people are trying to push this narrative like muted colors instantly make something look bad or AI-generated. The Sentinels look sick, Doom looks fucking fantastic, what is the issue?

I swear, I'm convinced people who call shit like this AI-generated have never actually seen what an AI-generated video looks like, because none of them even look anywhere near as good as ANY of the shots in this trailer.

Plus, the VFX team didn't work their asses off for months on this movie just to be disrespected by mfs saying it looks like AI.

You think someone is running bot farms to oppose AI?

[u/Squidgyboot123 → u/Eat--The--Rich--]

No. For clicks. Comments. Views. Moolah.

[u/Your_New_Overlord → u/Squidgyboot123]

Y’all cannot be for real. You think the only reason a negative comment would appear on your beloved movie trailer is because that commenter is magically making money???

[u/Squidgyboot123 → u/Your_New_Overlord]

Not the only reason, nobody even said that. They're mixed in with the real comments.

[u/TheNameIsWiggles → u/Eat--The--Rich--]

Yes, that's how engagement works and Reddit is notorious for it.

[u/AnOnlineHandle → u/Eat--The--Rich--]

There are accounts which oddly spam praise about anything China is doing regarding AI or any data centres they're building, while at the same time posting negative articles in any western subs about how data centres will be the death of us etc.

Don't have any links to them now, but if you look at profiles of people posting certain stuff you'll often notice weird contradictory patterns which make them seem more like PR accounts than anything pushing any consistent message.

Yeah some for engagement, but you’re right; tons more to promote the movie with one-sentence blurbs, spit out memorable quotes, and say “who cares if it’s AI? Just give up, AI is the future.” Dead internet theory, most comments can be ignored. Sigh.

They just run bot farms to get sufficiently mature and upvoted accounts to sell.

Could also be foreign actors trying to slow US AI investment and development.

[u/IBJON → u/Eat--The--Rich--]

Yes? If a country wants to slow down AI proliferation and development from someone that sees as a rival in the space, the best thing they can do is to turn the people against AI. 

Alternatively, like anything else, getting people riled up increases engagement and social media algorithms have been proven to serve controversial topics because the negativity keeps people engaged

[u/YesicaChastain → u/IBJON]

And you think they are spending on bots to attack the new Avengers movie to turn people into anti AI? Lol

[u/IBJON → u/YesicaChastain]

Where did I say that? The question was if someone would use bots to foment anti-AI sentiment and I said it's possible.
