I don’t know if Netflix thinks it’s being cheeky or subversive by carrying this episode.BOWLING GREEN, Ohio – AIM Media Midwest, LLC, the parent company of the Washington C.H. The irony that “Black Mirror” streams on Netflix - itself the subject of viewer and talent ire - should not be lost on anyone. It’s the digital march to dehumanizing us all in the name of entertainment - and somebody else’s profits. That doesn’t sound far-fetched to actor, writer and director Justine Bateman, who became a household name on the ‘80s sitcom “Family Ties,” She has warned of an eventuality whereby viewers are offered a premium tier of entertainment: Get scanned and you can be inserted into custom films - or even “licensing deals made with studios so that viewers can order up older films like ‘Star Wars’ and put their face on Luke Skywalker’s body and their ex-wife’s face on Darth Vader’s body.” In fact, Streamberry has even bigger ambitions: Eventually, everybody will get their own show: “(Insert name) Is Awful.” “What? When?” Terms and conditions, comes the reply. And you assigned them the right to exploit all that, the lawyer calmly tells her. “It’s my name! It’s my career! It’s me! They’re using me,” she says.

Season 6 of the surrealist anthology series “Black Mirror” premiered on Netflix last month and it includes an episode called “Joan Is Awful” that ponders this question.Ī young woman named Joan (Annie Murphy of “Schitt’s Creek”) is a midlevel manager at a tech company. Sitting in his trailer, BoJack is 3D scanned and casually informed by a producer that “one day that’s going to be the actor’s whole job, just sitting in a room for five seconds while a machine scans his face - and then six months later plugging a movie on Kimmel.” “BoJack Horseman,” the animated Hollywood satire on Netflix, had some choice words about AI in one of its episodes. Why should we expect otherwise if AI becomes the default? As it is, we’re not getting a “full spectrum of humanity,” researcher Sydette Harry told me a few years ago. Or imagine if questions of diversity become simply a matter of tinkering with technology that adjusts skin tone or body shape or facial features. ![]()
