AI-generated thumbnails used to promote 12 Angry Men on Amazon Prime

A few weeks ago I was looking at albums in Apple Music. I read the blurbs on several albums in a row from a particular artist, and I noticed that they were all overly wordy, banal, and extensively reused the same rare words. So I searched on the subject and of course all the album background blurbs were AI-generated. Apple bought some company specifically for that purpose a few years ago. So now I know to not waste time reading the album blurbs on Apple Music.

&gt; 19 Terrifying Men<p>I loved that remake! Zombies intervene on jury deliberations, devouring one or two dissidents. The rest are able to negotiate a detente and quickly reach a unanimous verdict.

FYI, this was probably not Amazon&#x27;s doing - my understanding is the rightsholders that submit the movies to Amazon choose the thumbnails.

I am almost sure they use AI to generate subtitles too. Some subtitles have sentences that really look like automatic transcription errors.

How long before they generate entire movies with AI? That&#x27;s a great way to make a bag!

Recently I was reading the news and saw an article from USA Today with an AI-generated cover graphic of Donald Trump.<p>And with both this and 19 Terrifying Men, I&#x27;m at a loss why anyone would do that. Surely people have already made thumbnails from 12 Angry Men, why did we need to change to a worse one?<p>Similarly, there must be tens of millions of photos of Donald Trump, from every stage of his life, available to license. Surely USA Today has a subscription to an archive where they can pull a stock image of Trump for no marginal cost.<p>What is the thought process here? Do they have a new hammer and see everything as a nail? Or is there a reason this makes sense that I&#x27;m not seeing?

All the incentives are there, not too surprising. What percentage of people will notice? How long until only a trained eye will recognize it?

I wonder what kind of results you might get using an AI model to choose a still from the film as the thumbnail.

Very curious to know what sequence of events led to this. Are other movies using AI-generated thumbnails?
