Grimes joins AI-generated sci-fi film Gods Don't Give Gifts
🎧 Listen to this story
Grimes will appear in Gods Don't Give Gifts, an AI-generated sci-fi film produced by the studio Fable. The Verge reports that the singer will lend her likeness and vocal performance to the movie, which releases on December 4th and is billed as “the first AI film to come to theaters.” It is directed by Jack London, better known online as Gossip Goblin.
The film is an anthology set in a future where bodies are disposable and consciousness has been commoditized. In a press release, Fable said that using both an artist’s likeness and spoken vocal performance could become more common in AI-made animated films. The project is a test of the commercial potential of such productions at a time when, The Verge notes, no film has yet demonstrated AI as an essential storytelling tool.
