Academy Awards organisers issued new rules on ​Friday to clarify that acting and writing must be performed by humans and not artificial intelligence ​to be ‌eligible for Oscars. The new rules also include changes to the international film category, expanding eligibility to include films that won top awards from prestigious festivals like Cannes, Venice and Toronto.

    Does this also mean that my calculator with googly eyes glued onto it isn’t eligible for the Nobel Prize in physics? This is discrimination!

    Heh, meat-bags are afraid that they might be left without awards. Poor-poor celebrities. Pass me a napkin to wipe down the tears. Pffft.

      Just set up a separate set of awards for AI artists and creators. Meat-bags and non-meat-bags can tune in if they care.

      Win win for everyone.
