  • This house would choose to clean

    Infoslide

    The silo is an underground community in which noone is able to go outside or has any recollection/evidence of the state of the outside world. All you are told by the ruling powers is that it is deadly to go outside, which is backed up by the numerous screens throughout the silo which display a desolate and dead landscape. Anyone found with evidence of the outside world or discovered discussing ideas contrary to the state narrative are sent to the mines. Everyone has the chance to 'clean'. Cleaning is when you choose to exile yourself from the silo. However, all of those who have cleaned have died, as seen on the screens through the silo which shows where you exit. One day you see a video of the outside world. The video displays the opposite of what the screens in the silo show you, the world is vibrant with green grass and birds flying in the sky. Both the video and the screens cannot be corroborated, you do not know which one is real.

  • This house believes that films and TV shows that use AI technologies in production should not be eligible for awards

    Infoslide

    Increasingly, AI has been used in the production of film and TV. Some of the ways AI can be used in film and TV include: enhancing the foreign accents put on by actors (e.g. The Brutalist), to create perfect emotional expressions (e.g. The Avengers), to de-age actors (The Irishman/StarWars), to recreate the faces and voices of actors that have passed away, and to write and edit scripts. For the purposes of this debate, CGI and VFX do not use AI.
