  "textContent": "\n\n\n\nIf you’re squarely in the never-AI camp, then you might want to sit down before you cast your gaze on this latest music video from filmmaker and AI artist Paul Trillo.\n\nSet as a short film music video for the music artist Poppy, “The Most Perfect Perfect Person” claims to be the first AI film “based on true events,” and—man—does it raise a lot of uncomfortable questions about authenticity.\n\nBut don’t let us tell you how to feel. You be the judge.\n\nHere’s what we can share about the video and what Trillo has to say for himself in attempting to create this critical, yet self-aware, project.\n\n* * *\n\n### The Most Perfect Perfect Person\n\n\n\n\nSo, interestingly, the whole point of this video is that Poppy, the musical artist, lets her AI clone take over as she surrenders her voice to an AI replica of herself. The premise is that this AI clone is trained on every word Poppy has ever spoken, written, or sung, and amalgamated to perfection.\n\nDirected by Paul Trillo, a filmmaker and artistic voice exploring the AI space, explains the project as such:\n\n> \"AI threatens to take away more than just jobs, it threatens to take away an artist’s voice. We risk a real homogeny of culture. Bots making content for bots. Originality is at stake. In a way, we have enabled ourselves to become bots. We let them dictate our emails. When we log on to social media we code-switch… we present one identity online and act another way offline. We let these platforms and technology change how we speak.\" — Paul Trillo.\n\nThe film's visuals employ several hybrid live-action AI VFX techniques, including traditional matte paintings and rotoscope work, as well as a variety of AI visual effects and more experimental transitions and asset creation.\n\nYou can watch the video on Vimeo here.\n\n### How Do You Judge Authenticity?\n\n\nYour browser does not support the video tag.\n\nAgain, we’ll leave it to you to judge how you feel about this project and what the director and artist are putting out there regarding authenticity and artificiality. Trillo, to his credit, claims that he wants the film to at least “appear to be overtly critical of AI.”\n\nHowever, he admits he also wants the film “to be a bit more nuanced than that since I believe there are clear benefits as long as there is a human at the helm.”\n\nHow do you feel about the project, though? Let us know in the comments below.",
