Neill Blomkamp’s new zombie AI ‘film’ is just slop warmed over

Director Neill Blomkamp created a 13-minute science fiction short film called Nightborne using ByteDance's Seedance 2.0 text-to-video generator (AI software that creates videos from written descriptions), with characters whose voices and faces are based on human actors. Blomkamp presented this project from his new AI startup Barley Studios as a demonstration of generative AI capabilities (AI systems that create new content like images or videos).
