Blue Planet III is keeping the rough edges in the age of AI

BBC’s Blue Planet III is keeping in shots that would normally end up on the cutting room floor to prove it’s real.

BBC 的《蓝色星球 III》保留了通常会被剪掉的镜头，以证明其真实性。

BBC’s Blue Planet III is looking to prove its authenticity by leaving in the less-than-perfect shots. Previous incarnations of the nature series were defined by their gorgeous, crystal-clear footage that seemed almost too good to be real. But one dead giveaway of AI is when things look too polished and seamless. To counter that, Blue Planet III goes warts and all.

BBC 的《蓝色星球 III》试图通过保留那些不够完美的镜头来证明其真实性。该自然系列节目之前的版本以其华丽、清晰得近乎虚幻的画面而著称。然而，人工智能生成内容的一个明显特征就是看起来过于精致和无缝。为了反其道而行之，《蓝色星球 III》选择展现其真实原貌。

Executive Producer Elizabeth White told The Guardian in the past, “the amount of plankton and things” floating in the water would have caused them to cut a shot. Or “we might have framed out a boat or a buoy or gone: ‘Oh, actually … the water conditions are not really good enough for this.’” Instead, this time they’re leaving it all in to show a more authentic, organic version of the oceans.

执行制片人伊丽莎白·怀特（Elizabeth White）过去曾告诉《卫报》，水中漂浮的“浮游生物和杂物”通常会导致他们剪掉镜头。或者“我们可能会把船只或浮标排除在画面之外，或者说：‘哦，实际上……水质条件不够好，拍不了这个。’”但这一次，他们选择保留所有这些元素，以展示一个更真实、更自然的海洋版本。

The series features incredible displays of dolphins trapping fish by plugging holes with sea sponges, inter-species fish communication, and 200,000 crabs lining up in formation to feed. White says that real ocean creatures “are probably more remarkable than AI could imagine.”

该系列节目展示了令人难以置信的画面，例如海豚用海绵堵住洞穴来捕鱼、鱼类之间的跨物种交流，以及 20 万只螃蟹排成队形觅食。怀特表示，真实的海洋生物“可能比人工智能所能想象的还要非凡”。
