Suddenly it seems AI (Artificial Intelligence) is everywhere and most of us have access to it in some version.
Has with anything new in technology everyone is wringing their hands over the negative possibilities.
And you and I can be sure that someone is already using AI for evil and to harm others.
Whatever sinful mankind creates or touches is tainted with evil.
One of the more obvious applications is video or Cinema.
Youtube is now exploding with all things AI and perhaps one of the more fun and interesting is the parodies of famous actors, people and directors.
One of the movie styles being parodied is that of Director Wes Anderson.
Who Is Wes Anderson?
Wes Anderson is known for the quirky and humorous films which include ‘The Royal Tenenbaums,’ ‘The Darjeeling Limited,’ ‘Fantastic Mr. Fox’ and ‘The Grand Budapest Hotel.’
"Wes Anderson is an American film director whose works feature a recurring ensemble of actors, including Luke Wilson, Owen Wilson, Bill Murray and Jason Schwartzman. He is known for quirky, comical movies with flawed characters, with projects ranging from The Royal Tenenbaums and The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou to Moonrise Kingdom and The Grand Budapest Hotel. Anderson has also enjoyed success with the stop-motion animated films Fantastic Mr. Fox and Isle of Dogs..." from the article: Wes Anderson

"With AI taking over the imaginations of the media and entertainment industries, it’s hard not to encounter someone pushing the latest ChatGPT hack or AI breakthrough. One trend that has proven popular is using AI to simulate the style of well-known properties like Aliens and popular artists like musicians, actors, and filmmakers.
At their most innocuous, AI parodies are fun, trivial things to look at for a few seconds on your Twitter timeline before scrolling to the next cute animal video or TikTok dance trend. At their worst, they represent an existential threat to human creativity and originality. These Wes Anderson AI parodies seem to fall in the middle: they’re fun to look at, for sure, but they also suggest a terrible trend of co-opting a director’s distinct visual style and making something seem new while really being a fancy rip-off. Nevertheless, we rank all of the Rushmore director’s AI “tributes” and parodies, from the awful to the sublime.
