editor Dávid Jancsó said the filmmakers used AI tools from Ukrainian specialist Respeecher to tweak Brody’s and Jones’ Hungarian dialogue in the film to make it sound more authentic.

If your goal is to win awards, maybe it should be disqualified… but if your goal is to make a great movie that feels authentic, I don’t know if I’m against it.

  Sounds like special effects or a stunt double.
  
  I think it depends more on the ethics of the data used for the training set.

    It just seems like a slippery slope. Dialogue is so critical to an actor’s performance, so manipulating it to make the actor seem more authentic seems like you can no longer judge the quality of the performance.
    
    Also, they could have just hired a Hungarian actor for this part and had authenticity, instead they hired Adrian Brody and used AI to make him seem more Hungarian.
