Edit: Oops. Didn't know who the Cannes audience was. The below would only apply if this gets a regular release. /Edit
My guess is the audience simply won't care and the movie will do reasonably average, depending on the script.
Sure here on a niche forum like Lemmy we care about the incredible energy waste, the artists being exploited, etc, and that "AI art" only looks good from a distance with all the little details being screwed up at a close examination. (When it's not a lovecraftian horror right on the surface - see "bloopers" in that video in the article)
But the general public? To them "AI" is: Haha, funny Ghibli filter.
I would hardly rate the Cannes film audience as the general public, these are people who have made movies their lives, I'm sure they will all welcome AI made movies lovingly. /s
That's a good point, I didn't know much about the Cannes film festival, but after looking it up I agree with you.
My comment would only apply if it sees a public release.
The movies at Cannes don't even have to make sense really, it's a celebration of art, film, the spirit of human creativity, of humanity. It's a bit of a slap in the face imo.
I feel like the Cannes public will be like Anton Ego from Ratatouille and I only see two possibilities: it goes well or it goes badly.
