The Cannes Film Festival recently unveiled 'Sh(AI)ved,' a groundbreaking collection of AI-generated adult films that reimagine vintage erotic magazine spreads from the 1970s. Created by Thomas Meier of the Norwegian firm Multiformat, the collection uses advanced generative AI to animate still images, complete with synchronized sound and dialogue. The first short film, 'Sh(AI)ved,' opens with a nostalgic montage of women in self-pleasure, set to a soundtrack reflective of the era's adult film music, often referred to as 'porn funk.' The narrative follows a character named Hannah, who engages in self-stimulation while reflecting on past experiences. The film culminates in a raucous scene featuring acrobatic sexual positions and the theme of hair removal. While the AI technology effectively captures the aesthetic of the 1970s, it struggles with extreme close-ups, resulting in a less realistic portrayal of flesh. Despite its imperfections, 'Sh(AI)ved' serves as a fascinating exploration of AI's potential in reviving archival content, making it a significant milestone in adult film history. The collection promises to evolve with future volumes, potentially smoothing out current technical challenges.
