Trending today: Elon Musk’s Grok AI has single-handedly produced a film adaptation of The Odyssey. (Surprise: it’s not good.) Michael Koh wonders if we’ll ever see an entirely AI-generated movie on the big screens; Aaron assumes we will, if only for the novelty of it. (Also: Michael has lots of AI puns – and Aaron encourages Elon Musk to go all in on AI filmmaking, and focus his attention on absolutely nothing else.)
