They Don’t Have Feelings but Can They Appeal to The Feelings?
The world is changing. New technologies are creating, systems are developing, machines are joining to live, and people routines are written from the beginning. All over the world, everything is changing.
Artificial intelligence is the most known actor of this change. Robots, bots, self-driven automobiles, smart homes, smart agriculture, industry 4.0, society 5.0 all come alive with AI. However, there is one thing that is most interesting for me. Amazon Turkey will have a Tv series and its name is Artı. What is exciting about its, a robot called Enigma will direct the series. According to the conference was held last year by Amazon, May 2021 was the publishing date of tv series. However, tv-series could not be published and there is no update about it. Moreover, one of the Turkish films, which will be published in 2022 has a robot player. New Birol Güven’s movie called The Digital Human has AI player Aypera. Robots can do physical activities such as carrying, pulling something, or so on. On the other hand, acting is not just a physical issue. There should be emotions and gestures. Additionally, playing in dialogues is not like reading a book, actors or actresses should change the tones of their voices during dialogs. Therefore, what is the meaning of using robots in movies or Tv series?
Definition of acting assumes as an art of telling to people a person with using person. It means that movies or tv series are showing a person who lives. However, robots do not have a life and they are operating not living. Furthermore, in movies or tv series director wants to share his feeling about happenings. Can robots achieve these? Can they appeal to the feelings? For Amazon and Birol Güven, yes robots can achieve these and they can appeal to the feelings. these technological developments perhaps indicate that the AGI era is approaching.
Amazon tv series name is Artı and it is the most intriguing tv series for me in lateen. Because directing a movie is not a thing that people can do with algorithms. Directors should understand the needs of scenes such as emotion changes, tone of actor/actress, scene music, colors, places, camera angles. All of these are related to the experiences, dreams, and ideas of the director. Moreover, all of these are spiritual, they change person by person. All the directors can film the same movie with different perspectives. Therefore, Enigma can be a disruptive technology in the cinema sector. Nowadays, with technology in the cinema sector, dead actors or a duplicate of one actor can play in a movie. In the future, maybe we can see movies all done by robots. Casts, directors, and cameras can be robots in movies soon.
AI technology can offer new opportunities for movie-watchers. For example, a few minutes after the production process of a movie is over, movies can be shown on the screen. Another example is robots may start to write scenarios for films. In short, the cinema sector is changing and conquering by technology. Dead actors can play in new films, CGIs are using in all over the world, new cameras and screen technologies are using in everywhere such as IMAX and 4DX and now AI technologies are starting to use in cinema.
