Andria Putkaradze has won Junior Eurovision 2024 and takes the mini crystal microphone for Georgia. Unfortunately, Spanish viewers have not seen Chloe DelaRosa win and have shown their sadness on social networks, but there is also another thing that has stood out on the internet: criticism of the use of artificial intelligence.
The postcards that both the children’s and adult festivals use to introduce each country and representative have, on this occasion, featured images generated by AI.
In addition to some real images of the singer, they have interspersed other videos created entirely by this tool, and this has not gone unnoticed on networks, especially because it was blatantly poorly implemented.
Among other things, the recreation that the artificial intelligence made of some of the children hardly resembled them, the most blatant cases being that of Anna & Aleksej, representatives of North Macedonia who bore almost no resemblance to those drawings, or that of the Ukrainian Artem Kotenko, who has been made blonder and taller.
But you just had to pay a little more attention to notice serious errors, such as the fact that Chloe DelaRosa only had four fingers in one of the videos in which she pretended to be a mermaid; The same thing happened to the Georgian Andria Putkaradze, winner of Junior Eurovision 2024; and they put a warrior’s armor on the Ukrainian Artem Kotenko and placed him in profile, but, no matter how much he turned towards the camera, his eye pupil did not appear.
This caused They will hire designers to do that work.
“What a picture”, “it has no forgiveness from God” or “completely unnecessary” are comments made by tweeters who took it more as a joke, but others directly labeled this practice as “terrifying.”
“What a fucking shame about postcards with AI, what a lack of respect for all professionals in the sector,” criticized one user. “There is no one who defends the postcards,” added another. “We are getting so far with AI…” reflected a third.
