'AI slop' or not? 2 Singapore films set for National Day release spark debate
Created using AI, Trace Project and Bersama Majulah tell fictional stories inspired by Singapore and will be released on Sunday (Aug 9).
Source excerpt
Two Singapore-made films created using AI and premiering on National Day have sparked debate online, with critics dismissing them as "AI slop" and questioning generative AI's growing role in filmmaking.
The projects – Bersama Majulah and Trace Project – are both stories set in fictionalised versions of Singapore.
Bersama Majulah (a direct translation of "Together Onwards" from Malay) is a short film produced by Singapore-based AI studio Edenstone.
It depicts a National Day Parade disrupted by a deadly spore outbreak that turns people into zombies.
