The Simpsons voice actor, Hank Azaria has admitted that he’s worried about his future in the industry amid the rise of artificial intelligence.

Azaria, 60, has worked on the long-running animated sitcom since 1989 and voiced numerous characters including Moe Szyslak, Chief Wiggum, Superintendent Chalmers, Comic Book Guy, Snake and Professor Frink.

The Simpsons has undergone many changes as of late, including switching TV channels in the UK. Now in its 36th season, there is seemingly no end to the show in sight, despite many of its voice actors retiring or passing away.

The use of artificial intelligence has become more prominent in Hollywood but that has prompted issues, most notably when the technology is used to replicate the performance of a deceased star.

In a piece for the New York Times, Azaria opened up about his worries surrounding AI and how it might be used to replace him in the future.

Azaria wrote: “The AI model may not know what’s funny or what timing is, but it could do a million different takes. And it could be told to do them as I would - and it might be pretty convincing.”

“So, if I’m being honest, I am a little worried,” Azaria added. “This is my job. This is what I love to do, and I don’t want to have to stop doing it. The conventional wisdom in Hollywood is that the technology for making faces seem fully human is five years away. I fear that the voice equivalent is also coming.”

The current season of The Simpsons left fans extremely worried after the surprise airing of its “final” episode.

Viewers were left somewhat startled as the long-running animated series’s 36th season, which has bizarrely predicted real-life events for more than three decades, was launched with an episode branded its “series finale”.

However, despite some confusion among viewers, the episode was actually a parody of what makes an effective finale and imagined what the perfect ending of The Simpsons would look like – as written by AI.

Throughout the episode, there were animated recreations of final shots of shows including The Sopranos, Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones and Succession.

Speaking to The New York Post, showrunner Pete Selman said that episode was inspired by the impossibility of ending the show satisfactorily.

“The discussion that it would be so hard to do a last episode is what led to the fake series finale,” said Selman. “That it’s sort of an impossible thing.”

“The show isn’t meant to end,” he continued. “To do a sappy crappo series finale, like most other shows do, would be so lame. So we just did one that was like over the top.”

Jung Jinyoung And Dahyun Capture The Magic Of First Love In Korean Remake Of “You Are The Apple Of My Eye”

Jung Jinyoung And Dahyun Capture The Magic Of First Love In Korean Remake Of “You Are The Apple Of My Eye”

The upcoming Korean adaptation of “You Are the Apple of My Eye” has unveiled new character stills of Jung Jinyoung and TWICE’s Dahyun! Adapted from the popular Taiwanese coming-of-age romance film of the same name, “You Are the Apple of My Eye” tells the story of Jin Woo (Jung Jinyoung), an 18-year-old who spends countless days building up the courage to confess his feelings to Seon Ah (Dahyun), his first love. Jinyoung transforms into Jin Woo, a devoted young man who, from his mischievous teenage years into adulthood, has eyes only for Seon Ah. In the newly released stills, Jin Woo’s casually worn school uniform and sporty basketball attire capture his playful, carefree nature. However, a stark contrast emerges in another image—neatly dressed and focused on an exam—hinting at the changes he undergoes after meeting Seon Ah, heightening curiosity about his journey. Meanwhile, Dahyun takes on a new challenge as she makes her big screen debut, unveiling a fresh side of herself as an actress. Known for her bright and pure image, Dahyun brings warmth and endearing charm to the role of Seon Ah, a model student and the embodiment of everyone's first love. Seon Ah’s stills, showing her attentively taking notes and receiving an award, highlight her studious and composed demeanor. However, as she encounters Jin Woo, new layers of her character unfold, revealing a spectrum of emotions. Just like a still of her radiantly smiling against a seaside backdrop, each moment she spends with Jin Woo reveals a new facet of Seon Ah, adding depth and vibrancy to the story. “You Are the Apple of My Eye” is set to hit theaters on February 21. In the meantime, watch Jung Jinyoung in “Who Is She!” below: [viki-watchnow url=https://www.viki.com/tv/40897c-who-is-she] Source (1)
