I have yet to meet a regular person who's clamoring for more AI in their life. But that's not stopping companies like Netflix from shoving the technology down our throats anyway, and in the most annoying ways possible. Like, for example, the way generative AI seems to have been used to quietly alter photos in What Jennifer Did, the streamer's hit new documentary that was the #1 Netflix movie in the world earlier this week.
Notice, for example, the odd gap in Pan's right cheek, as well as the way, way too long front tooth: The backlash from viewers to all this, no surprise, has been swift and universally negative -- and it speaks to the point I made above, about essentially no one wishing they could enjoy more AI in their life. In fact, the opposite is true here.
