AI was used to enhance the Hungarian words spoken by Adrien Brody and Felicity Jones in award contender movie ‘The Brutalist.’

    Sounds like special effects or a stunt double.

    I think it depends more on the ethics of the data used for the training set.

      It just seems like a slippery slope. Dialogue is so critical to an actor’s performance, so manipulating it to make the actor seem more authentic seems like you can no longer judge the quality of the performance.

      Also, they could have just hired a Hungarian actor for this part and had authenticity, instead they hired Adrian Brody and used AI to make him seem more Hungarian.

        Dialogue editing has been standard praxis in Hollywood for decades. Nothing has happened here that couldn’t have been done manually.

        Also, they could have just hired a Hungarian actor for this part and had authenticity, instead they hired Adrian Brody and used AI to make him seem more Hungarian.

        Not really. You don’t get your movie funded when you hire a random Hungarian actor, and it would’ve been pretty weird if the character suddenly had a different voice when he speaks in Hungarian.
