In what might be the best use of AI since that guy on Twitter got in trouble for fixing Disney's Little Mermaid, the Chinese studio Hishow used AI to edit U.S. horror movie "Together," changing out a gay marriage scene.
Hishow used AI to turn one of the guys into a woman and make it a traditional wedding scene.
Ta-Da!!!
According to Deadline, rather than celebrate the successful trans-ing of a gay man into a woman, "Together's" distributor Neon pitched a fit.
‘Neon does not approve of Hishow's unauthorized edit of the film and have demanded they cease distributing this altered version,' the company said.
China is pretty much known for editing woke stuff out of U.S. films. They deleted every reference of Freddy Mercury being gay in 2018's Bohemian Rhapsody.
But apparently, using AI to alter films without cutting the scenes is going too far.
Currently, the movie has been pulled from Chinese markets until they straighten things out — or de-straighten things out as it were.
