My thought is that, despite what this one featured actor believes, the use of AI is not excused by the quality of storytelling or character development.

Especially when you’re talking about the eight thousandth iteration of the same Power Rangers thing. Bro.

A reply to a video by one of the actors featured in the Ninja Kidz short Ethan Fineshriber that says:

Bro really appreciate your covering this and giving your initial reaction to it. It is bigger budget than previous episodes that Ninja Kidz produced before but yeah it's not Disney sized budget. The world is absolutely moving toward using Al more with everything. I get why some people would be off-put a bit by it but dang guys isn't it or shouldn't it be more about how strong the story and character development are to some degree as well? To hate on things you haven't even experienced at all is like looking at a plate of chocolate and telling your mom you're going to hate it because it looks brown and brown foods won't taste good. Just give it a try before judging. Thanks again for the honest reaction!
Appreciate you.

Remember:

- they DO NOT CARE about your arguments/rebuttals

- they DO NOT CARE about your dunks

- the person running the accounts was specifically hired to drive engagement BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY; it’s the algorithm they’re catering to

This is a game, and to them you are data to be manipulated.

Remember how throughout the 2010's there was always at least one scene in a movie that took place in China or had a Chinese actor or had a last minute escape plan helped along with Chinese scientists or something?

We're about to get that again.

@alxtrathicc.bsky.social Found your first Spookyfest 2025 art post in my plaza (along w/ Xtra)! Also shown is your art on one of the walls in Splatsville. Since the last fest I've gotten all 16 shellout jackpots (the pic w/ my updated locker & banner). Nice art as always! #Splatoon3 #NintendoSwitch

Truly amazing that their post yesterday is showing off concept art from an actual human, then today they post this AI slop with their characters hastily pasted onto it.

Such an insult to the artists still at the company, and such an insult to the people they just let go.

Do better, Playtonic.

The AI stuff is horrendous and disappointing and all

But the stuff about fuckin Triple H getting into politics is absolutely something that should deeply disturb anyone still supporting that company

Aaron - GrapPro.com @aaron.wrotkowski.ca · 1d

This appears to be legitimate so I'll repost it.

WWE is now using AI storytelling and will use it more and more now that Paul Levesque is neglecting his duties to try to get into politics.

So far the best it has come up with is Bobby Lashley (now in AEW) becoming Tensai.

WWE has a contract with Writer AI, a platform which has already been fed WWE content.

Cyrus Kowsari was hired last month as the new Senior Director of Creative Strategy. He had previously been a Producer for Buzzfeed from 2016 to 2022 and for ONE, the MMA company, from 2022 until last month. He was introduced to the creative staff by Paul Levesque.

In introducing him, Levesque said that Kowsari would lead WWE’s transition to AI based story telling and integrate AI into creative services like video and graphics. He said that this shift is inevitable when it comes to creative in pro wrestling.

Kowsari said he would both manage AI storytelling and be a liaison to the White House as Levesque is taking on more duties in politics in some form.

Thus far the AI software has come up with what one person with knowledge of the situation called absurdly bad storylines. They pitched a storyline where Bobby Lashley, who the AI thought was still with the company, could come back as a wrestler who was obsessed with Japanese culture and history.

The feeling is once bugs are worked out that AI will begin to have major impact on storyline direction.

Another promotion previously tested out AI for creative help and suggestions and found it couldn’t understand pro wrestling and storylines.

- WON
