Grok 发布 AI 生成版《奥德赛》首集，仅七分钟
Grok releases the first seven minutes of its AI-generated ‘Odyssey’
- 1Grok 发布 AI 生成的《奥德赛》前七分钟，称为系列第一集，距马斯克宣布制作全片已三个月
- 2TechCrunch 作者观片后认为个别镜头接近实拍，但整体缺乏艺术性、灵感与人物吸引力，难以支撑长片
- 3影片与 Wonder Studios 和导演 Dev Walker 合作完成，马斯克曾承诺历史准确并因选角批评诺兰版
- 4诺兰真人版《奥德赛》7 月上映后 Imax 场次数月售罄，被视作下届奥斯卡颁奖季领跑者
三个月前承诺全片、如今交付七分钟，生成式内容的宣传口径与实际产出之间存在明显落差。
- 影响：内容与营销团队可据此校准对 AI 视频的预期，当前成片更像短片演示；把厂商承诺当作排期依据时，需计入宣传与交付之间的落差风险。
- 参考：可考虑把厂商已发布的成品片段而非路线图作为选型素材，先做七分钟量级的试产对比；值得盘点自有内容中适合短片级生成的场景清单。
- 依据：交付七分钟与三个月前的全片承诺为文中事实；成片评价出自 TechCrunch 作者个人观片感受，属单一评测口径；诺兰版票房为公开报道。
Three months after Elon Musk declared that Grok would release a full-length, “historically accurate” movie version of “The Odyssey,” Grok has published a whole seven minutes — what the company is now calling “Episode 1 of our Odyssey series.”
Musk had previously lashed out at Christopher Nolan’s version of “The Odyssey” because Nolan cast nonwhite and transgender actors. And Nolan is, in many ways, a perfect foil for Musk — while SpaceX and Tesla CEO hypes up data centers in space and posts an unending stream of AI-generated content, Nolan has described himself as “a techno-skeptic” and said that before AI, he’d never seen a technology “so completely rejected by the public.”
And while Nolan’s version of “The Odyssey” certainly used plenty of visual effects, it’s primarily a feat of practical filmmaking, with a shoot spanning six countries and a cast and crew of thousands. After its release in July, the film became an extraordinary box office success, selling out Imax screenings for months and becoming the likely front-runner at the next Academy Awards.
As for the Grok version of “The Odyssey” (created in collaboration with Wonder Studios and director Dev Walker), well, you can watch for yourself.
I’ll admit it’s not as spectacularly ugly as I’d expected, and certainly more impressive than other videos that Musk has posted recently. If I didn’t know better, there were moments when I might have thought these were real actors sailing across a real sea. And while I can’t speak to Grok’s historical accuracy, it does seem that all the characters come in a Musk-approved skin color, while the narrator uses a British accent that will sound familiar to anyone who’s played a fantasy video game or watched a generic Hollywood epic from the past 25 years.
What the footage really lacks is any sense of artistry, inspiration, or human interest. The backstory — delivered via the aforementioned voiceover — seems to go on forever, finally giving way to one bearded face after another, each shouting stilted lines that make Nolan’s dialogue sound like Shakespeare.
While a few individual shots might provide a reasonable simulacrum of reality, the whole thing feels completely airless, offering viewers no sense of momentum, no reason to care about anyone or anything on-screen. And where I had no trouble paying attention for the nearly three-hour runtime of Nolan’s “Odyssey,” I was listlessly checking how much I had left before the Grok version was even halfway through.
It’s hard to imagine being interested in another seven minutes of this, much less a full movie’s worth.
