A TikTok user recently shared a video showing AI-generated pictures of the BreakingBad cast as anime characters, and the results are alarming.
These days, it seems like there’s nothing AI programs can’t do. Thanks to advancements in artificial intelligence, deepfakes have done digital “face-offs” with Hollywood celebrities in films and TV shows, VFX artists can de-age actors almost instantly, and ChatGPT has learned how to write big-budget screenplays in the blink of an eye. Pretty soon, AI will probably decide who wins at the Oscars.
Despite the hype, the anime images in the video look like something one would see after taking a hit of some of Heisenberg’s “Blue Sky. To be fair, the digital art by itself is pretty good, especially considering an AI program made it. However, it’s rather jarring to see Walter White, Jesse Pinkman, Gus Fring, and so many other iconic characters from the live-action show remade as anime drawings. Usually, when this happens, it’s the other way around.
If the purpose is to faithfully recreate the original, then Breaking Bad AI has failed. If the goal here is to create something dramatically different from the source material, then why do it at all? This work obviously violates copyrighted work, is not sufficiently funny enough to warrant parody status, and just exists because … it can. Did Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan ask for this? Probably not.
