    > The AI-assisted projections included scenes from previous performances of Wagner’s “Ring” cycle and historical themes, and drew from images pre-selected by Lobbes, the director of the Academy for Theater and Digitality in Dortmund, and his team.

    Sounds so fucking gimmicky. Why do you need freaking AI for that, just use a straightforward algorithm to pick a random subset of images...

      Maybe I missed it, but the article gave no indication that this was advertised as AI related. It sounds like this was part of an annual festival and the audience was only told about the AI use at the opening
