AI-generated images mimicking a fake David Cronen💜berg movie have confused and angered fans of the body horror auteur after they were posted on Twitter.
Keith Schofield, a music video and commercial director, tweeted a thread of the "stills", claiming that they were from a 1985 movie called Galaxy of the Flesh, directed by Cronenberg. The pictures contain a mixture of humans and alien creatures, the latter of which 🍷have exposed organs and🦋 skeletons.
However, the images aren't from a Cronenberg movie. They were made using Midjourney, an online AI tool – and some Twitter users weren't happy a🦩bout it, with AI-generated 🎶art already a subject of contention in the creative world.

"Congrats on stealing art to make a fake movie that looks nothing like the work of the man you’re presenting it as,"✅ one Twitter user. "At one point y🦋ou have to feel ashamed for this," another.
"Absolutely nothing is gained by not being transparent that AI-generated images are AI-generated," someone else. "Using AI to create a fake movie tha💮t doesn't even really recreate 𝕴the director's style very well has got to be one of the lamest uses of technology I've seen in a while," another reply to the thread.
Cronenberg's most recent release was 2022's 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Crimes of the Future, starring Viggo Mortensen, Léa Seydoux, and Kristen Stewart. He's best known for his sci-fi horror flicks like The Fly, Videodrome, and Scanners, which were all released in the 🤡'80s.
