The Brutalist film faces controversy over AI-enhanced Hungarian accents

The film "The Brutalist" sparked controversy after its editor revealed that AI software Respeecher was used to enhance the Hungarian accents of actors Adrien Brody and Felicity Jones, and to create architectural drawings. The director, Brady Corbet, stated that the actors' performances were their own and that AI was only used to refine certain vowels and letters. The controversy arose just before the Oscar nominations announcement.
