Musk wants to publish "Odyssey": Finally "historically correct" fiction

Elon Musk has criticized Christopher Nolan's film adaptation of Homer's 'Odyssee' for allegedly misrepresenting historical accuracy, particularly regarding the casting of a Black actress as Helen of Troy. He plans to use his AI model Grok to create a new version of the epic that he claims will be 'historically correct.' The article notes that this controversy mirrors past debates over CGI in filmmaking and raises questions about the role of AI in creative storytelling. It also mentions another AI-generated version of the Odyssey by entrepreneur Ashkan Kooshanejad, highlighting broader discussions around the speed and ethics of AI-driven content creation.
