This is actually doable with ai.

It would take a little while to do but it wouldn't be too onerous and could be done entirely with open source models and tools.

This is one of the best uses of the tech imo. Creating hilarious parodies of capitalist media.

Wow you managed to have the absolute worst take possible.

Part of the appeal of the Muppets is that it's all practical effects with real human interaction. Removing that just spits on ol Jim's corpse.

Second is that if you're so anti capitalist, you can't be pro AI. It's literally only owned by major corporations and is being used as a way to take even more means of production away from workers.

I don't know what the hell is wrong with you but you need to cut it out.

I really don't know what's more anti capitalist than stealing content from literally every corporation that owns content to create software that is more often than not distributed for free that you can use however you see fit without them ever seeing a dime of it.

So when I download an open weights image generation model created by Facebook, that's even created from stolen content (they're among the worst offenders) for free, and run it on my own machine, to produce something that only and those I choose to share it with have access to....

Say I did this exact thing with the muppets and released it for free.

Do you think hiring paid actors and licensing the muppets and artists to create a real muppets movie that's then released only for those who will pay for it, for profit only, enriching the people that own this whole apparatus, is a more egalitarian take then doing it with ai and releasing it for free?

What, it's shitting on Jim Henson's Memory if something doesn't create profit?

And I NEED to breathe. I NEED to shit.

As far as what's wrong with me. I don't know. Understanding? Reason? Opposition to any system that profits off the backs of others' hard work?
