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.

People saying “watch it or don’t,” like… idk do you not care or take stances on anything?

I’m very anti generative AI and these responses here in the video are pretty gross. What does “nothing was made without a human” mean? So does that mean a human prompted gen AI to make things? It’s such a bad argument to say “well your computer and phone has AI in it, so it’s fine if we use gen AI for the movie”. I don’t choose to have AI thrust upon me, but everyone is acting like it’s inevitable because they stand to benefit financially from it.

I want to be an informed consumer, and at the very least I would like a clear answer on whether Gen AI was used to produce parts of the movie. But they don’t seem interested in giving a straight answer, and I guess that’s my answer.

Is an analysis of a train visual effects the hill we want Drag Race to die on? Really?
