Marvel Calls on AI to Generate a New Captain America
If the AI takeover of Hollywood looks like this, sign me up!
As we know, Disney has been struggling to keep their audience interested. After several box office bombs, it’s no surprise that the Mouse has decided to call upon Marvel to help. However, Disney is taking things to the next level by bringing in artificial intelligence (AI) to generate a new Captain America, one that everyone can love.
As you know, Marvel has been trying to get back on track after their latest flop (hard to tell which one – there have been so many).To try and change this, Disney has brought in a team of AI engineers, designers, and writers to create an entirely new Captain America, one that can captivate the hearts of viewers and make them forget about all of Disney’s past mistakes, like The Eternals, Indiana Jones and the Annoying Woman, and 4/5 of the stuff on Disney Plus.
“In the long run, using AI to do everything will be the key to success,” said one Disney exec, who wished to remain really unnamed. “It’s the future of entertainment and we can’t afford to fall behind.”
But is it truly the right call? Using AI to create an entirely new Captain America? Disney is saying yes, because they can “deep fake” an already wildly popular American into the role.
According to the team working on the project, Joe Biden will be the AI’s muse. The engineers will use footage from Biden’s speeches and interviews to generate an AI that can sound like him. Then, they can use the AI to create new dialogue and scenes for a Captain America reboot that everyone can love, and forget about the fact that Marvel doesn’t have the creativity to come up with a story from scratch anymore.
“When we killed off Captain America, we knew that was the right call,” said another unnamed Disney exec, “we could replace him with anything our cult leaders tell us to, and it would be great. However, we want to sell movie tickets, so we compromised and picked a white guy who’s an honorary black person – Joe Biden.”
To be honest, the idea of an AI Captain America created by Disney is pretty genius. It’s a win-win for everyone: the AI will generate new content, and Disney will get more money and power. It’s hard to find a loser in that scenario, right?
