When the Russo Brothers, the masterminds behind Avengers: Endgame and Infinity War, dropped the news that they used AI for voice modulation in their new movie The Electric State, the internet couldn't handle it. A tool typically reserved for tech enthusiasts or deep-pocketed companies making futuristic gadgets has somehow found its way into Hollywood. But the real kicker? It wasn’t just a tiny mention. They proudly revealed it in a way that felt almost... casual.

Now, we know the Russo Brothers are no strangers to experimenting with new technology, but this one had fans scratching their heads. Voice modulation isn't exactly the kind of thing you’d expect from a film directed by the duo.

The Russo Brothers and Their Surprising Use of AI Voice Modulation

Once the Russo Brothers casually dropped the AI bombshell, the reactions were swift and, well, hilarious. Fans immediately took to social media to express their disbelief and amusement. The idea of an AI co-directing a movie alongside Hollywood giants seemed almost too perfect for meme culture. And, of course, memes are where the real fun began.

A user couldn’t resist chiming in, sarcastically commenting:

“Directed by the Russo Brothers, co-directed by ChatGPT.”

It was a line that encapsulated the entire absurdity of the situation. As if the Russo Brothers were sitting in the director’s chair while their “AI co-director” quietly hummed along in the background. It was a cheeky jab at the idea of artificial intelligence sharing credit in a multi-million-dollar blockbuster. But what’s even better is that fans really ran with it.

One user (@imgoingtoduck) humorously posted:

"They keep digging the hole deeper lol."

The joke here, of course, is that every new piece of information about the film seems to raise more questions than it answers, leaving fans wondering what exactly is going on behind the scenes.

Meanwhile, another fan (@cryptonian_0) wasn’t entirely convinced by the Russo Brothers' tech-forward direction, quipping:

“Russo Bros using AI? No surprise, film still mid.”

It seems not everyone was impressed with the movie’s use of AI. For some, it was just another detail that added to the growing list of reasons they felt The Electric State didn’t quite live up to expectations.

Then, a more resigned voice summed up the feeling many shared:

"The end is near."

It’s a sentiment you’d expect from anyone witnessing a major shift in Hollywood, particularly with something as weirdly futuristic as AI working alongside some of the most well-known filmmakers in the industry.

But here’s the thing, while many were poking fun, others just wanted to get on with things. One user (@HomieSanto) humorously noted:

“Oof, to be honest, it’s the least of the film's problems.”

It’s clear that the AI revelation was far from the only thing that had people talking about The Electric State. In fact, for some fans, it was just another quirky tidbit in a film that had already earned its fair share of mixed reactions.

In the end, the Russo Brothers’ announcement didn’t just highlight the use of technology in filmmaking; it sparked a cultural moment online. Fans were eager to poke fun at the idea of AI becoming a “director” in Hollywood. And while the tech may have been behind the scenes in The Electric State, it was the internet’s sense of humor that took center stage. Whether it’s joking about AI making "plot decisions" or imagining ChatGPT sipping espresso on set, one thing is clear: the Russo Brothers and their AI co-director are now forever part of internet lore.

So, next time you watch a Russo Brothers film, just remember: it may not just be the actors bringing the drama. There's a chance the script, the dialogue, and maybe even the tone are a product of some code somewhere. And we can only imagine what AI’s next Hollywood cameo will look like.
