"We feel nothing": Chinese film students harshly judge "Sanxingdui", the first 100% AI film

The film "Sanxingdui: Future Past," the first entirely AI-generated Chinese feature, has seen disappointing attendance, with only 0.3% occupancy after six days. This failure sparked discussions at the Beijing Film Academy, where students criticized the film for lacking emotional depth. Prominent figures in the film industry, like actor Tony Leung, have previously expressed skepticism about AI-generated films, arguing they lack the soul and warmth of human-created art. Shu Qi, a popular actress and director, echoed these sentiments, stating that AI characters, while technically perfect, fail to resonate with audiences.
