A strange detail on the Spanish island of La Palma has caught the attention of fans this week. The new disaster series on Netflix, also titled La Palma, has quickly risen to the number two spot on the streaming platform's top 10 list. While some viewers have been eagerly watching and even "yelling at their screens," others have been left unsettled by a small detail they noticed.
Taking to social media to discuss the Norwegian disaster series, which has already been viewed for over 40 million hours, some subscribers couldn't help but notice the movement of the actors' mouths. Originally released in Norwegian with English voice-overs and subtitles, fans are claiming that AI technology has been used to alter the mouth movements of the actors, and they're not quite comfortable with it.
One social media user, Fear Buck, shared a video showing the moment he caught onto the mouth tracking, stating that Netflix has used "AI to dub over the mouth." He even included a snippet from an online source that claims, "For dubbed content, Netflix uses advanced AI technology to ensure that dubbed audio is perfectly synchronized with the actors' lip movement, providing a natural and immersive viewing experience."
This use of AI has caused quite a divide among viewers of the show. Some are questioning everything and wondering if this could lead to entirely AI-made movies in the future. Others are feeling "robbed" and questioning the authenticity of the show. On the other hand, some viewers are not bothered by the use of technology and even find it easier than reading subtitles.
The debate has even continued on social media platforms like Reddit, with some users admitting they were driven "nuts" by the dubbed audio. Some have even expressed concern for the actors, stating that it's unfair to judge their acting abilities when their mouths are not in sync with their emotions.
The four-part series, created by Martin Sundland, follows a Norwegian family vacationing on La Palma. While their holiday starts off peacefully, it quickly takes a terrifying turn when a young researcher discovers signs of a volcanic eruption. The family, along with others on the island, face a race against time as they try to convince the authorities to take action.
Despite the mixed reactions to the AI technology used in the show, La Palma continues to be a popular watch on Netflix. So, if you're a fan of disaster series and don't mind a little bit of AI, be sure to check it out.
