AI, Arts & Creativity News — 2026-10-04 (Sun)

Overview

- Headlines include moves to put AI at the center of the production process in game, video, and music production. - While the pope and musicians are said to have expressed negative views on AI art, producers continue to announce the introduction of AI. - The involvement of AI in evaluating works and selecting records (research reports, AI music chart concept) was also brought up.

Art/image generation

- Newser and Yahoo report that Pope Leo has made an "urgent" appeal on AI and the arts. Yahoo's headline says its views are not friendly to AI art. - Blues Rock Review reported that Joe Bonamassa gave his opinion on AI and the unidentified AI blues singer that entered the Billboard charts. This item also relates to music. - What you can confirm from the headline is the fact that the statement was made. The specific content of the statement is not clear from the headline.

music

- BeatViz announced an "AI director" to create long-form music videos (IndyStar). - Kelly Clarkson wants a chart dedicated to AI music, saying she's "obsessed with it," Far Out Magazine reported. - India News Network reported that AI-generated songs reflecting the Ukraine conflict are on the rise. - From the headline, we can see that AI is extending from music generation to video production, and that there are plans to handle AI music separately.

Movies/videos/anime

- Business Insider's headline says AI's promiscuous content is reaching Hollywood, and some are already "better." This is the media's claim. - Le Monde reports that producer Edward Saatchi is trying to recreate the lost ending of an Orson Welles film using AI. - StreetInsider reported the first edition of the African AI Film Festival. There will be a live performance in Hollywood and a screening in Kampala. - IMDb reports that Ben Affleck has admitted that he made extensive use of AI in his new Netflix thriller Animals. - The headline shows that the use of AI is manifesting itself in three ways: in recreating lost works, in specialized film festivals, and in major distribution works.

Design/Architecture

- Parametric Architecture publishes a talk by Ross Lovegrove about AI and organic design. The headline says that the future belongs to the "inquiring intellect." I treat this as my own opinion. - TechBullion covered how to learn game development step by step with AI. It is actually an educational article in the field of games.

game

- Capcom plans to incorporate AI into game development, The Tech Buzz and Polygon reported. The Tech Buzz notes that despite warnings about Pragmata. - Insider Gaming reported that Capcom plans to make RE Engine an "AI-generated game engine." - From the headline, it can be seen that there is a plan to not only use the engine to assist in some development processes, but also to modify the engine itself to be suitable for AI generation.

Museums, exhibitions, cultural institutions

- americanbazaaronline reported that Jaipur Literature Festival New York was held in the era of Donald Trump and AI. - Bioengineer.org reported that research has warned that AI is quietly influencing which art goes down in history. - Caligari reported that AI, the Paramount-Warner merger, and the end of traditional financing were at the center of discussion at the Zurich Film Festival's annual summit. Mergers and financing are topics in the financial sector, and we'll focus here only on how film festivals have put AI high on the agenda.

Creation site and creator

- Instagram has added an AI assistant with performance analysis for creators to its video editing app Edits (StoryBoard 18). - Tycoonstory Media covered Leonardo AI's features, prices, and how to use images and videos, Analytics Insight covered AI tools for the Android version of Adobe Premiere, and SSBCrack covered 10 AI tools for YouTubers. - All of them focus on explanations and comparisons of tools, and individual examples of creators cannot be understood from the headlines.

Japanese art/creation and AI

- All 5 items are provided by "Oita Trinita Official Site" and have titles that seem to be advertisements for AI illustrations, AI animation, and NSFW animation generation tools. - This content is inconsistent with the soccer club's official website. You can't tell from the headline alone whether the site has been hijacked or whether it's a spam-like post. - This collection does not include information on the activities of Japanese creative fields and cultural institutions. In reality, there is no relevant information, and the reliability of the five headings is judged to be low.

Remarks from VIPs

Tracked list is empty. The following are the main points of the speaker who appeared in the headline, and the text of each statement has not been confirmed. - Pope Leo: Said to have made an "urgent" appeal regarding AI and the arts. - Joe Bonamassa: Said to have opined about AI and an unidentified AI singer who appeared on the charts. - Kelly Clarkson: Wanted to see AI music charts and reportedly said he was "obsessed with it." - Ben Affleck: He reportedly admitted that he used a lot of AI in his new work. - Edward Saatchi (film producer): It is said that AI is used to recreate the lost ending of Orson Welles' work. - Ross Lovegrove: He is said to have said that the future belongs to the inquiring mind.

Integrated analysis: What is happening now

The role of AI is shifting from assisting to overall production. BeatViz has released an ``AI director'' that creates long music videos. Capcom plans to make the engine itself geared toward AI generation. Saatchi uses AI to recreate lost endings. Instagram has added AI with performance analysis to its editing app. In both cases, the aim is not to improve the efficiency of individual tasks, but to entrust processes including judgment to AI.

Criticism and introduction announcements are made on the same day. Pope and Bonamassa are said to have expressed concerns and opposition to AI, and Capcom is reported to be proceeding with its introduction despite warnings about Pragmata. It's hard to see from the headlines that criticism is stopping implementation.

AI is included in the layer that categorizes, evaluates, and records works. Clarkson wants a chart dedicated to AI music, and the AI singers that have appeared on the chart have become a hot topic. The African AI Film Festival is a venue dedicated to AI works. Research warns that AI will be involved in selecting art that goes down in history. Rather than ``how to make'' works, the issue is ``how to distinguish, how to rank, and what to leave behind'' is becoming a point of contention.

Points that change the reader's judgment: - The focus of discussion has shifted from ``whether to use AI'' to ``how to handle AI works in terms of display and ranking.'' - There is an example (Affleck) of a major work in which the person himself/herself approves the use of AI, and the use is now at the stage of being made public. - The rating "Already better than human work" is a claim in a Business Insider headline, not a verified fact.

Future points of interest

Realization of Capcom's "AI-generated engine" plan. Will it be shown which processes will be handled by AI? 2. Is it possible to create a separate chart for AI music? If realized, the classification criteria for AI works will be presented in a public manner. 3. How cultural institutions, such as art museums and film festivals, respond to research on AI-based selection of works.
