Lionsgate has removed the trailer for Megalopolisa new film by Francis Ford Coppola, which contained false quotes attributed to famous film critics. Experts suspect that ChatGPT was used to select the excerpts. And artificial intelligence invented them.
The video, released on Wednesday (21), contained excerpts of alleged negative comments on the director’s other films, such as The Godfather AND Apocalypse now. The studio, one of Hollywood’s biggest, acknowledged the mistake and apologized for it. But it did not explain what happened.
“We offer our sincere apologies to the critics involved and to Francis Ford Coppola and American Zoetrope for this inexcusable error in our ratings process. We made a mistake. We are very sorry,” a Lionsgate spokesperson said. in a statement to Variety.
Trailer for Megalopolis aimed at critics, but the (possible) misuse of artificial intelligence caused the shot to fail
The quote-filled trailer seemed to be one of those targeted by film critics. But within hours of its release, reports began to appear: like this Vulture – pointing out that the passages attributed to the critics were false or incorrect.
The case raised suspicions among the public and even among experts interviewed by the American press that ChatGPT (or some similar AI platform) had been used.
Suspicion first turned to OpenAI’s chatbot because of its reputation for creating fake citations and even URLs for nonexistent content. It’s notorious; when in doubt, make it up. But ChatGPT doesn’t tell you it made it up. So we strongly recommend you check out everything the chatbot offers.
The website The limit asked Lionsgate if any generative AI tools – that is, tools that “create” content – were used in the production of the trailer. But, until this note was published, the study had not responded. In this case, does silence constitute consent?
