it is creepy with the visuals. visuals feel like they should be more true, somehow.
for me, cg in movies tends to stand out like a sore thumb, while most of my friends couldn’t see that princess leia in rouge one wasn’t a real actor. let alone tarken.
on the other hand, i thought for the longest time that interviews on talk radio and podcasts were “live” - when they are anything but.
even npr and the bbc edit the #@$! out of their radio interviews. it’d be trivial for them to make up the news, we simply have to trust they can’t get away with making up things whole cloth . a) because eventually someone in the know would call them out. and b) because we believe ( even despite both outlets towards normalizing extreme viewpoints ) they are trying to accurately report the things
there’s a lot of trust when you consume news.
oto, i guess maybe part of keeping that trust is being (more) transparent about what they do. creepy morphing tech included.
