District 9 director's AI-generated film "Nightborne" panned for poor quality

Director Neill Blomkamp, known for "District 9," has released a 13-minute short film titled "Nightborne," which was entirely generated using AI technology, specifically Seedance 2.0. Despite using real concept artists and the likenesses of 32 individuals, the film has been critically panned for its uninspired plot, flat dialogue delivery, and unengaging narrative. The story, loosely inspired by Peter Watts' book "Echopraxia," follows a soldier subjected to an experimental procedure, but fails to explore any meaningful themes. AI
