‘Reasonable request lol’—Fans poke fun as The Academy considers requiring films to disclose AI usage for Oscar eligibility

This is an important announcement for all filmmakers and screenwriters. It is time to dust off your old typewriters and cameras because you will need them if you want to work. And if you dream of winning an Oscar one day, then listen to these golden words from Kim Kardashian: "Get your a@# up and work."

The time for vacationing is over, so please delete your AI apps and software. No, this is not a joke but something the Academy of Motion Pictures wants you to do.

The Academy of Motion Pictures is considering requiring films to disclose their AI usage for Oscar eligibility, so to all the filmmakers currently writing "add more people in the frame" in their AI prompts, stop and hire real people.

If the reports are to be believed, then many moviemakers who de-aged their actors, added background characters, and even wrote scripts with AI must now be thinking about how to reverse the AI effects in their movies.

Fan reaction to the Academy considering disclosure of AI usage for Oscar eligibility

The use of AI, although helpful in many aspects of filmmaking, has become a common practice where sometimes it becomes too prominent to notice. The recent Fantastic Four poster and AI usage in The Brutalist are a few examples where the use of AI was too great to overlook.

It's changing the definition of moviemaking, which may change the movie experience. That's why the Academy's decision to require filmmakers to disclose AI usage to be eligible for the Oscars has been mostly well received.

There were many hilarious reactions to the news, with some still doubting whether filmmakers will allow this to happen since it's convenient for them to use AI. One user (via @HomieSanto) wrote,

"This would be great, which is why it won't happen."

Another truth seeker (via @BlazeRN617) wrote,

"We need to know how much it is or isn't being used."

Technological advancements have brought many great changes to the world, but some things should be kept the same. Movies are one such thing. The AI usage does make filmmaking convenient, but it may lead to the loss of its magic.
