Hervé Dupont, the Managing Director of Fortiche, the producers of the “Arcane: League of Legends” series, has expressed confidence that AI (artificial intelligence) will not replace humans in the creative process of making films or television shows. Speaking at the Sharjah Animation Conference, Dupont said that AI is not yet capable of making emotive choices, and therefore cannot take over the creative processes from humans. He explained that the choices of where to put the camera, what story to tell, and what emotions to convey require human sensitivity and vision, which AI cannot replicate.
Dupont went on to explain that movies and TV series are a reflection of the vision of the director and scriptwriter, and without that vision, the end product will not stand out. While AI has advanced significantly in recent years, it still lacks the ability to develop a vision and true personality. Therefore, Dupont believes that AI will not replace humans in the creative process of making films or television shows anytime soon.
Dupont emphasized that developing characters for the “Arcane” series took a significant amount of time and involved several stages. This process included running the characters past designers, ensuring that they had all the important elements, and developing the storyboard, script, and computer-generated images. All these tasks require human input, creativity, and sensitivity.
In conclusion, while AI technology continues to develop and make significant strides in various industries, it still lacks the capacity to make emotive choices and replicate human sensitivity and creativity. Thus, AI is unlikely to replace humans in the creative process of making films or television shows anytime soon. However, AI can still play an essential role in the production of films and TV series by assisting humans in tasks such as generating computer-generated images, analyzing data, and providing recommendations based on that data.
