OpenAI will be debuting a film at the Cannes Film Festival. With a budget of $30M or less, and a timeframe of 9 months, the slop they turn in will cost a fraction as much and take a fraction as long to develop as the slop Hollywood normally produces. FWIW though I did find the little video in the WSJ article entertaining, in a deeply unsettling, uncanny-valley kind of way.

That's a good point, I didn't know much about the Cannes film festival, but after looking it up I agree with you.

My comment would only apply if it sees a public release.

The movies at Cannes don't even have to make sense really, it's a celebration of art, film, the spirit of human creativity, of humanity. It's a bit of a slap in the face imo.
