Disney’s Prom Pact Caught Appearing To Use Creepy AI Extras & Twitter Cries Foul

Replying to @DiscussingFilm’s post, @EyeofSemicolon ripped on the quality of the creepy-looking digital insertion, writing, «It looks so blatant and badly done that if you were to tell me this was from some mid-2000’s show about a kid having to live in a world where CGI characters go to school and shenanigans happen, I’d believe you. Probably would’ve been a sketch on Adult Swim.»

Also calling out the AI scene was user @caiden_reed, whose clip of the film also seems to reveal another AI character to the right of the woman in yellow. «Reminder this is what SAG-AFTRA is writing against,» they wrote.

Another user, @GeekLawGrad, took the fight directly to Disney’s CEO while highlighting the clip featuring the AI character, writing, «Bob Iger would rather insert digital scans of background actors than paying actors their fair wage! #SAGAFTRAStrong.»

While the WGA and AMPTP struck a deal to end the writers’ strike at the end of September 2023, the SAG-AFTRA strike entered its third month in October. According to Variety, the WGA and Directors Guild of America issued a statement on October 13 asking the AMPTP to return to the negotiating table with SAG-AFTRA after talks between the two parties over the past week fell apart.
