- Comment on Director Admits "The Brutalist" Used AI to Alter Characters' Accents 1 week ago:
If studios lean on AI to “fix” things like accents, it’s because they’re prioritizing big names over authenticity, not because AI inherently diminishes the value of authentic talent. This is a systemic issue tied to the industry’s reliance on star power for financial success, not just AI or accents.
Viewership is ultimately dictated by audience preferences. If consumers consistently favor star-studded casts over authentic representation, studios will cater to that demand.

Sometimes, casting isn’t just about accents or regional authenticity—it’s about acting skill, availability, and fitting a broader character vision. If a top-tier actor can’t naturally deliver an accent, producers may weigh that against other factors. In this case, AI can serve as a compromise rather than a replacement.
- Comment on Director Admits "The Brutalist" Used AI to Alter Characters' Accents 1 week ago:
The controversy surrounding the film kicked off last week after an interview with editor Dávid Jancsó was released by Red Shark News. Jancsó said that the production turned to software called Respeecher to clean up Brody and Jones’ dialog after the ADR stage — a process in which certain lines of dialogue are re-recorded in post — didn’t pan out, a decision that both leads were fully on board with, Jancsó said.
Who cares? Seems like everyone involved was on board. Seems like a good use of the technology to me. I don’t see why anyone should be ‘admitting’ anything.
- Comment on AI tool can give ministers ‘vibe check’ on whether MPs will like policies 1 week ago:
A new artificial intelligence tool can warn ministers whether policies are likely to be very unpopular with their party’s MPs, using a search described as a “parliamentary vibe check”.
They might want one that can do the same for their constituency…
