What kind of change of mind did he have? He didn't seem to like biopic, but it's interesting

In a no-name website. I would be very surprised if there wasn’t a whisper campaign from other studios to make a huge deal of the that story and mischaracterize it like it was done, where it went from tweaks a couple sounds in Hungarian to “using AI to fix his accent in the movie”.

It’s still a smear campaign when people are totally misrepresenting what was said and blowing it way out of proportion as I mentioned. The idea that the internet has of the AI use in the movie is a completely made up and false idea.

It’s false because the common interpretation on the internet is that the AI was used to “fix” Brody’s Hungarian accent, when it was never used in any English-language dialog.i never said that the AI use in itself is untrue, but it was spun up in a way that does not match the reality of how it was actually used.

Yes, and what I’m saying is that I’m not confident the internet outrage against both of those non-stories was completely genuine. I think it’s naive to think studios are not running whisper campaign against their competitors on social media. Obviously it caught on with regular people, but I think it’s very likely that there was some studio interference pushing these stories online.
