FROM THE FRONTIER
The Oscars just opened the door to AI, and no, not just in the sci-fi category.
According to new rules from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, films made using generative AI can officially win big. As in, Best Picture big. The updated language says using AI “neither helps nor harms” your shot at a nomination. Translation: if your script was co-written by ChatGPT, the Academy won’t care, as long as humans are still involved somewhere in the process.
This comes after a wave of AI-assisted winners at this year’s ceremony. Adrian Brody used AI to tweak his Hungarian accent in The Brutalist. Emilia Perez used it to sweeten up some vocals. Voice cloning, face fixes, accent edits, it's already here, and it's already winning.
Still, the Academy isn’t handing over the gold to Skynet just yet. Voters still need to watch all the nominated films (a rule that also just became mandatory), and they’ve said human creative input will still be weighed. Which is basically Hollywood code for “please don’t deepfake Meryl Streep into Fast & Furious 12.”
TRENDING IN THE FORUMS
What’s a product you wish someone else would build? This thread is full of the kind of ideas you’d find in a notes app at 2am.
There’s a noise-canceling headset that only blocks human voices. A tool that scans Reddit for mentions of your product and drafts replies in your tone. A phone without dopamine loops. A feedback widget with public comments and a leaderboard. Someone even asked for teleportation. Respect.
If you’ve got an idea you’ll never build but can’t stop thinking about, throw it in. Who knows — someone might steal it.
