read it in his voice

Fuckin...TELL EM!!! FUCK YEAH SAY THAT SHIT!

Can someone have AI put that in Werner’s voice?

The only time Werner could tell me “You will fail” and I *wouldnt* [redact] myself is if it was followed by “because ultimately all life fails.”

now that he mentions it, LLMs are basically a drop-in replacement for Youtube babble videos

My favorite hardcore band posted a video this morning of the lead singer creating a huge mural in his house to be the cover art for their new album. It made me so happy and I don't understand how some people see human processs and inspiration as superfluous in art. www.instagram.com/reel/DdB1erX...

Miyazaki-level bodying

That’s embarrassing for IDFA

There is only one Werner Herzog and he can not be replicated.

Plagiarism through and through.

I will be man enough to admit: I read this in his voice.

But, apparently selling out to said AI bros *isn’t* letting filmmakers down. Yeah, sure buddy. (2)

Werner is literally the most interesting man.

So go ahead and fail.

I would have to catapult myself into the sea.

Having Vernor Herzog tell me I’m a failure with bad, dumb ideas is like a anxiety dream come to life. Like “I’ll just implode out of existence now, thanks. Sorry to bug you.”

I have long tried to convince people that these programs are not “artificial intelligence,” but rather “artificial mediocrity.”

That was actually on the set of The Hobbit films.

I think that happened on The Hobbit films, not the LotR trilogy.

Correction: this was the Hobbit. LotR had practical sets.

Thank you to the four people who made sure I was aware this was on THE HOBBIT not LORD OF THE RINGS. duly noted

Wait… he’s still alive?

Owned lol

Fuck 'em up, Werner 🫡

Exactly. It’s not “intelligence” it’s data assimilation, compiling, and regurgitation. AI will never write Ulysses or Finnegans Wake.

My fucking hero

on one hand, it is really that serious and i’m in total agreement. on the other hand, LMFAOOO

"'I have seen it on the set. And it’s heartbreaking! It’s heartbreakingly beautiful,' Herzog told Variety on 'The Mandalorian' world premiere red carpet. 'It looked absolutely convincing. It made you cry when you saw it.'"

If AI can make it, it wasn't worth making. Thank you, Werner.

Honestly I think we don't have enough appreciation for the people in our lives who cannot stop saying weird, insane yet true things.

Remarkable... thanks for sharing that.

The idea of Werner Herzog telling someone, "You are alone." is the most chilling and damning thing I can think of him saying to someone 🤣

... and gazing backward into an abyss of time. 😵‍💫

Precisely! In his voice it would have the implication of being nothing and no-one.

Yew ahh eh lewoon

I didn't presume you were, I was just continuing a thought

In fairness, if I were to use AI as the lead actor of my movie then it would be very much like a Werner Herzog film because I try to murder AI every chance I get even though I work with it all the time.

He holds the same disdain for AI as he does for chicken intelligence and you know what? Yes

Always the bullet

He can have One Good point but I still hate him. He's an Invasive Doomer Nihilist between questioning that one woman on who her baby's father is when it's none of his business, or listening to the Bear Man audio before saying not to share that with anyone else ever. I just fucking hate him.

can we take this attitude and go clown all the people praising the slopperific, pro-Canadian propaganda videos that have been popping up? people are eating them up like candy and it boils my blood. i share the fuck-this-regime sentiment but goddamn.

Right!

It’s the “good enough” economy (and enshittification, of course). Advertising is already being consumed by it. Roku is trying ai shorts. The problem is that low budget beginner filmmakers will have to work a thousand times harder to get noticed enough to get good enough to make blockbusters.

Yes, I read this entirely in his voice.

The enormity of their stupidity is just overwhelming

Anyone else heat his voice when reading this

"there's not real storytelling. it's mimicry of something that has happened before." oh the grad seminars are gonna be hootin and hollerin about this one

How can I not love Herzog?

Yeah, I imagine there's a version of this where he says 'you will fail' in a way that indicates it's worth trying anyway despite the inherent futility of existence. Then there's the other version. This is that other version.

I love that I can distinctly hear the cadence of his voice saying this. Something else AI could only mimic, never invent.

Bars

To paraphrase Nirvana, they "know not what it means."

That man has always inserted his entire arse into everything he did, whether it was asked for or no. I say this as someone who has nothing but the greatest admiration for everything he's ever done.

Not to mention the superhuman effort it took to work with madman/actor Klaus Kinski on five separate films (not including the posthumous documentary).

GO OFF KING

jesus, leave something for his mother to bury

in which wener herzog dog-walks slop-motion cinema chuds

You will fail it is such a stupid idea.

Common Herzog W

If mediocrity is good enough for your use case and you don't need to develop your own skillset to ever achieve more, then generative AI may get the job done well enough for you. That's not really gonna cut it in art.

He's just described 95% of Netflix shows

I love him

A COMPUTER CAN NEVER VOMIT THEREFORE A COMPUTER MUST NOT CAUSE NAUSEA

Werner does not miss, you really shouldnt hand him a gun

I have a German friend who looks just like Werner Herzog. However, he is not like Werner Herzog at all. Not one bit. He's an accountant.
