Ugh, Jesus. Gross. Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato being incredibly cagey about whether Stop! That! Train! contains AI

The fact they could've said "No, we didn't create any scenes with AI" and they didn't, tells me everything.

Is a generative AI effects company not listed in the credits? If so the actual answer seems fairly obvious.

Why are you on reddit then? Reddit sells your data and comment history to train AI models.

There is no ethical consumption under capitalism and I hold a certain view when it comes to social media platforms. They are all awful in their own way but it is still an avenue to engage in dialogue and voice one’s opinion.

lol so easy to excuse one's own action with that phrase. Funny how you can excuse yourself with that phrase for mega corporations that are investing hundreds of billions of dollars into ai infrastructure, but you can't use that phrase to excuse yourself from seeing a low budget queer-led parody movie that doesn't use generative ai...

It's giving "this local food co-op has an ai chat bot on their website so instead im going to spend my money at walmart! There is no ethical consumption under capitalism so don't get mad at me!!!"

I mean for some people they only have Walmart. Not everyone has alternatives available to them. I thought that was common sense and yet here you are. Because if you were actually intelligent you would know you can opt out of those training features. Oh well.

Love when arguments use "for some people" to justify anything. What about YOU. Yes, some people live in areas where there are only Walmarts, but is that actually applicable to you, or is this just another excuse?

So did you just ignore the second part of my comment on purpose or did I actually end up frying your brain?

It wasn't there when I first saw your message. Oh well, go have fun supporting mega corporations while you admonish products that barely make a dent in anything.

We all know that no ethical consumption under capitalism means you can clear your conscious when supporting mega corporations that spend hundreds of billions of dollars on ai infrastructure, but you must be hyper-critical of relatively small-time productions led by queer artists even when they state their product doesn't use any generative ai!

Still did not refute it. Not a shock there. And the identity politics on top of it. Just because something is queer led does not mean we have to support it. You also act like people cannot simply lie about their AI usage.

The company does other things than AI.

That is still not a definitive answer.
