Marvel’s new television series “Secret Invasion” debuted Wednesday with an opening title sequence apparently conjured by artificial intelligence, stoking fiery reactions across social media and from those within production itself.
And while some suspected the creepy vibe was intentional others wondered if it marked the beginning of AI’s invasion into Hollywood — a particular concern of an enormous actors union that“I’m devastated,” tweeted Jeff Simpson, a visual development concept artist who said he worked on the character design and props for “Secret Invasion,” though not the intro sequence. “I believe AI to be unethical, dangerous and designed solely to eliminate artists’ careers.
The series centers on a villainous alien race — the Skrulls — that secretly invades Earth by shapeshifting to look like humans. Samuel L. Jackson stars as Nick Fury, the hero who tries to stop them. While Marvel and Disney did not respond to a request for comment on the show’s themes, “Secret Invasion” seems well suited for a year when rapidly advancing artificial intelligence is widely viewed as a threat — to human industry, if not human survival.
