There he meets Mumbi, a local filmmaker who challenges him to make his film without relying on AI, using only his hands, eyes and heart.

neutral · AI labelView post →There's actually an AI slop movie making the rounds at film festivals, "Memory of Princess Mumbi", and it seems to be accepted because: - It's a Black director making a sci-fi movie set in Africa, something that is impossible to do otherwise. - It's anti-AI. It's a very messy situation.
