A new documentary about Elon Musk uses CGI avatars and AI voice technology to simulate an interview with him, based on his real past statements.
一部關於伊隆·馬斯克的新紀錄片,以CGI虛擬化身和AI語音技術模擬對他的採訪,內容取自他過去受訪時的真實發言。
Director Alex Gibney says the move is meant to be ironic.
導演亞歷克斯·吉布尼表示,此舉帶有諷刺意味。
It both echoes Musk's claim that "we live in a simulation" and mocks his inconsistent stance on AI technology.
它既呼應馬斯克「我們活在模擬中」的說法,也嘲弄他對AI技術矛盾多變的立場。
Gibney attended the Venice Film Festival premiere with Ashley St. Clair, who appears in the film.
吉布尼與片中受訪者艾希莉·聖克萊爾一同出席威尼斯影展首映。
St. Clair is a conservative influencer and has a son with Musk.
聖克萊爾是保守派網紅,與馬斯克育有一子。
She said she was offered $40 million to stay silent, but she refused to sign a confidentiality agreement.
她說自己曾獲4000萬美元以換取沉默,但拒絕簽署保密協議。
This year she also sued Musk's AI company, saying its chatbot lets users create sexually exploitative deepfake images of her.
她今年也控告馬斯克的AI公司,指其聊天機器人允許用戶生成她的性剝削深度偽造圖像。
The film runs nearly four hours and looks at the controversy over Musk's changes to X's algorithm after he bought the platform.
電影長近四小時,探討馬斯克收購X平台後調整演算法的爭議。
Gibney says Musk made the algorithm favor nasty and hateful content over public discussion like a "town square."
吉布尼說,馬斯克讓演算法優先呈現尖酸刻薄與仇恨內容,而非「城鎮廣場」式的公共討論。
Journalist Zoe Schiffer adds that the algorithm also suppresses mainstream news and boosts inflammatory speech.
記者佐伊·希弗補充,演算法同時壓制主流新聞,並放大煽動性言論。
St. Clair believes Musk is causing deliberate division, and if unchecked, it could lead to disaster.
聖克萊爾認為,馬斯克正造成蓄意分裂,若不受控可能帶來災難。
The film also looks at Musk's difficult childhood, his early years in Silicon Valley, and his work with DOGE in the Trump administration.
影片也觸及馬斯克創傷的童年、矽谷早期經歷,以及他在特朗普政府中參與DOGE的工作。
Gibney says the film grew after Musk got involved with Trump's campaign.
吉布尼表示,馬斯克與特朗普競選糾纏後,影片內容因而擴充。
He thinks Musk is "extremely" dangerous for democracy. He also warns that the DOGE team has accessed personal data of U.S. citizens collected by government agencies.
他認為馬斯克對民主「極度」危險,並對DOGE團隊接觸政府機構所蒐集的美國公民資料發出警報。
The film will be released in October.
電影將於十月上映。
