Do people actually want more live action or LLM slop remakes of animated classic movies? I understood it as a cynical IP-milking from corpos, but if consumers want them... why? (hexbear.net)

This is of course inspired from that "AI entrepreneur" douchebag that spent $745 to commission a treat printer to print out a shitty and soulless whitewashed version of Princess Mononoke and assigned himself that title the way that putting a quarter in a gumball machine makes someone a candy entrepreneur.

I really don't have a good answer. Anyone else?

Plenty of people just have terrible taste. There are people out there that like Funko Pops.

I think it shows up a lot in AI slop land because it's currently not capable of producing anything that's actually good, so the whole community around that is a self-selection of people with terrible taste.
