They are different because they are clearly not real images or video. The fact that we can generate images of whatever we want that are near if not impossible to discern as fake by the naked eye, means that they shouldn't be in there at all.
Again, how is this different from an artist rendering? There's been artists creating digital media for documentaries for a long long time.
You’re not understanding, possibly on purpose?
Look, try this: if the scene with the artist’s rendering says “artist’s rendering” in it, then it’s fine. Start there.
I'm not sure if you meant to reply to me, but that's what I have been saying, if it says it's a rendering, I don't see how it's different.
How is a computer generated image different from an artist rendering? Well for one an artist is a human being.. AI is machines. No human on earth can render as well as a machine can. If you want to use machine rendering, make sure your audience is completely aware that it is AI generated, otherwise, it's not a documentary.... it's an art film.
The quote above is in my first post in this thread. And to say a human can't render as well as a machine, is arguable, but that isn't what this is about.
So again, if people are told that it's a rendering, regardless of who or what rendered it, what is the issue, and should all past documentaries with human renderings/reenactments not be called documentaries?
That's what he's saying, with proper disclosure, there's really no difference so if one (with proper disclosure) is banned then the other (Also with proper disclosure) should be as well because (assuming proper disclosure) they're both recreations of a historical event that has no actual photo or video of said event.
