The director of the show Ali Selim has shared that they did it on purpose as they wanted to capture the theme of the show. Recently, the AI Technical Director behind the intro ofSecret Invasionalso took to Instagram to share their experience working on the project.
The“AI Technical Director” for the show’s intro shared that it has been an “absolute privilege”to work with the studio and the team.“This project represents a significant milestone as it pioneers the utilization of AI technology in a production of such magnitude,”the creator mentioned in the post.

In case anyone was curious, the people responsible for the AI intro to Secret Invasion called their work a “milestone” and “groundbreaking”.
Then they deleted their post on IG about it. How groundbreaking is it if you have to disassociate from it.pic.twitter.com/YLPFj0HzXZ

The really funny thing is, imagine if they put REAL actual human work into it for 2 or 3 months, how fucking cool it could be. Why struggle to make something objectively worse, rofl. The answer is money.
That’s actually kind of positive. I was afraid the number of artists angry at this would be too small to make a difference, but if they removed the IG post, then at least it’s a large enough number to persuade them it’s not a good idea to brag about it.

What boundries did they push? Creatively, it’s worse than what a proper team of artists could and have done. The only thing they pioneered is how to make more money with less people and do a crappier job

This crap took several months to do? Bunch of crappy images from Midjourney, stitched together. I thought AI should speed up the the whole thing.

Bigger lesson here than just AI. Something being innovative, challenging, meticulous, expensive, etc. to produce doesn’t make it intrinsically valuable.
Entertainment esp. is not autotelic, have to keep asking who are you connecting with?

It’s interesting how they initially called their work a “milestone” and “groundbreaking” but then deleted the post. Makes you wonder if there’s more to the story. 🤔

Others stated why these creators are so desperate to prove their hard work, saying,“The really funny thing is, imagine if they put REAL actual human work into it for 2 or 3 months.”Many also pointed out how they were not able to bring out the best even with the use of AI, as they called the opening credits“default mid-journey outputs that any rando could generate.”
