"The Brutalist" has come under fire for the use of AI to "tweak" the Hungarian dialogue of Adrien Brody and Felicity Jones to make it more "authentic," which came to light in an interview with editor Dávid Jancsó for video tech publication Red Shark News. Some people online have said that this should disqualify the Oscars contender from awards consideration. “Adrien and Felicity’s performances are completely their own,” director Brady Corbet told @THR in a statement. "They worked for months with dialect coach Tanera Marshall to perfect their accents. Innovative Respeecher technology was used in Hungarian language dialogue editing only, specifically to refine certain vowels and letters for accuracy." Here's more. What do you think?

A sizeable majority of voters in this poll say any AI use should disqualify "The Brutalist" from awards, but some of the commenters demur. "I'd hate to disqualify 'Spiderverse' from the Oscars. They used machine learning to increase humanity in their art, before the hype," says @alcinnz. @pdbartlett points out that perhaps AI shouldn't be perceived as different from other effects in a feature film. @MeTwitt suggests we ask Don Novello, who famously adopted the Hungarian pen name Lazlo Toth. And @btrinen points out the inherent stupidity of trying to give awards for art.

@CultureDesk @THR using AI is the direct opposite of authentic

@CultureDesk Depends on the context, but if you like me believe this "AI" nonsense isn't actually anything new... And what field the award's granted for.

I'd hate to disqualify Spiderverse from OSCARs! They used machine learning to increase humanity in their art, before the hype!

@CultureDesk @THR Awards for art — as if it is a contest — are stupid to begin with. Art is not a contest. It isn’t a sport. I don’t care who they award their little trophy’s to.

@CultureDesk @THR Personally I don't have any expectation of a feature film being free from effects, versus say photojournalism where the rules are very clear.

If the awards do then that's a different matter, of course, but I don't see why AI should be different from any other sort of special effect, though I can imagine why some in the industry might be more worried about it.

@CultureDesk @THR I think we should ask Don Novello.

@CultureDesk @THR imo not disqualified but reevaluated. certainly it should have been disclosed up front before the awards (or really right at the release of the movie)
