Apart from the usual critique, AI companies proving themselves as poor at reading what actually works in “regional” markets as Hollywood did a decade before. Fox Searchlight and Disney took major risks with Ranbir Kapoor only to have to literally quit the India market after those films bombed.
I don’t know if there’s a more perfect illustration of the utter fucking nonsense that creative pollution by AI will produce than this choice to illustrate the power of Paramount’s new “localization” and “customization” technology by face-swapping Brad Pitt into the lead role of GET OUT

Ditto for Nehruvian elites.
A genuinely good part of the old Republican aesthetic is how it sought to play down wealth, an impulse born from Protestant values. You can see this in how Bush dressed and decorated his living spaces
