Blue Planet III keeps cloudier footage to show it isn't AI-made
The producers of the BBC's Blue Planet III say they kept less polished underwater shots so viewers can trust the animals on screen are real.
The producers of the BBC series Blue Planet III say they deliberately kept cloudier, less polished footage to show the series is authentic and not AI-generated, the Guardian reports.
The Guardian says producers described the shots as "more organic." The Verge reports that earlier Blue Planet series were known for crystal-clear footage that looked almost too good to be real. It adds that overly polished, seamless images can be a sign of AI.
The series is narrated by David Attenborough. The Guardian says it comes nearly a decade after Blue Planet II, which drew attention to plastic pollution, and 25 years after the first Blue Planet.
The Guardian also reports that the new series shows more animal behaviour and uses new technology. That includes what it calls the world's first underwater CCTV camera, nicknamed "stonefish" cam.
