For decades, Lucasfilm and its effects division Industrial Light &#038; Magic have\u2014through innovations in camera technology, miniature techniques, practical effects, and computer-generated imagery\u2014charted the course of Hollywood film production, establishing a visual canon that resonates so strongly with its fans that many of them idolize a guy who hacked up a bunch of younglings with a laser sword purely because of how cool his armor looks.<\/p>\n<p>To celebrate that legacy of cutting-edge craftsmanship, former ILM chief creative officer and current senior vice president of creative innovation at Lucasfilm Rob Bredow <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=E3Yo7PULlPs\" target=\"_blank\">got on a TED stage<\/a> in April to share a vision of what he called &#8220;a new era of technology&#8221; (via <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.404media.co\/star-wars-shows-the-future-of-ai-special-effects-and-it-sucks\/\" target=\"_blank\">404 Media<\/a>). That vision was a two-minute AI-generated video of blue lions and chimpanzees with zebra stripes, not to mention the ungodly outcome of snail and peacock interbreeding.<\/p>\n<div class=\"youtube-video\" data-nosnippet >\n<div class=\"video-aspect-box\"><iframe data-lazy-priority=\"low\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/E3Yo7PULlPs\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Bredow began his talk with a summary of ILM&#8217;s history, founded 50 years ago to &#8220;solve the visual storytelling challenges&#8221; in Star Wars. As Bredow describes it, ILM&#8217;s success came from artists and engineers working in tandem, blending aesthetic sensibility with technical innovation. He shared anecdotes from the production histories of Jurassic Park, Indiana Jones, and the Mandalorian\u2014moments where artists elevated what could be achieved with new technology, rather than be replaced by it.<\/p>\n<div>\n<blockquote>\n<p>I can safely say that if I sent a probe down to a Star Wars planet and got back images of alligator heads crudely spliced onto turtle bodies, I&#8217;d be pretty bummed.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<p>&#8220;That&#8217;s blending the old and new\u2014how tech and creativity working hand in hand create things we just love,&#8221; Bredow said. &#8220;So what happens when you put the latest AI tools in the hands of talented artists, both to see how good these tools are these days, and what does it do to our artists&#8217; imagination?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, I don&#8217;t think tech and creativity were particularly aligned on this one.<\/p>\n<p>Bredow then moved on to his premiere of Star Wars: Field Guide, a short film created by an ILM artist over the course of two weeks using AI generation to &#8220;explore what it would feel like if you sent a probe droid out to a brand new Star Wars planet.&#8221; And I can safely say that if I sent a probe down to a Star Wars planet and got back images of alligator heads crudely spliced onto turtle bodies, I&#8217;d be pretty bummed.<\/p>\n<div

Despite the triumphant Star Wars score, ILM&#8217;s foray into AI generation didn&#8217;t produce anything remotely compelling\u2014or even particularly alien. It made a mostly normal sloth with bits of rock sticking out of its fur. It put a peacock head on a snail. There&#8217;s a bear with tiger stripes. There&#8217;s a blue gazelle, and also a blue lion, and a pink iguana, and a couple walruses with octopus bits stuck on there, and none of it makes me feel anything because why would I care about a barely-fake creature\u2014essentially just two existing animals smushed together\u2014which nobody bothered to make themselves?<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s pretty fun to see artist expression leveraging the latest new tools,&#8221; Bredow said as the film ended to perhaps the most generous applause anyone has ever given, and I have to ask: Is it? The AI-generated imagery doesn&#8217;t have any glaring errors, but what was fun here?
