I wouldn’t call myself a film buff but I’ve watched thousands of films and shows. My gauge is usually the metascores, with some exceptions. Knowing this, I generally watch films with a metacritic score over 55, and am usually whelmed. It’s also important to understand directors and their previous works, and styles so you know what to expect. I still prefer imdb’s ratings generally.

AI has gotten way out of control, in my field of art, some art styles have become synonymous with ai art and people have become accusatory. I can’t imagine being as skilled as some of these artist and seeing your work basically mocked. Sure, you can say the bots will never replace human creativity but they will most certainly try and while they are at it will almost certainly hurt us financially.
