Someone's Made A 135 Minutes AI Slop Version Of The Odyssey

Key Points:

• Ash Koosha, creator of last year’s AI-generated film Dreams of Violets, is releasing a new 135-minute AI-made movie called Odysseus: The Fall, aiming to sell it directly to viewers for $9.99 later this summer.
• Dreams of Violets cleverly circumvented current AI video limitations, such as lack of object permanence, by structuring the film as disconnected vignettes, but it was not well-received critically.
• Odysseus: The Fall, made on a mid-five-figure budget, attempts to capitalize on buzz around Nolan’s big-budget The Odyssey, but the AI-generated visuals still suffer from inconsistent character appearances and awkward interactions.
• The project serves more as a technology showcase for Fountain 0’s AI filmmaking software than as a traditional auteur-driven film, highlighting ongoing challenges in AI film production.
• Critics argue that AI creators focus on selling the technology rather than producing high-quality content, questioning the long-term impact of AI in the film industry.
