Ep 117. AI Fake KFC Advert – Dir: Joris Noordenbos & DOP: Simon Paul   As the internet exploded with comments and opinions on a recent AI generated fake KFC commercial by @divinci_production, it raised questions for me around copyright, and the thin vail between imitation and plagiarism. We have the foundations of the future of the industry already built through our shared experience, we should decide how it moves forward for the benefit of us and those coming up behind us.   As always, thank you to our guest and thank you for listening.   Please like, share and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.
