I have in general huge reservations against AI but this crossed a line. Not only the creative direction comes across as lazy and uncreative, it was also very uncomfortable to see the children being changed into a slimmer / taller / more generic version of themselves. If our world was not already obsessed with people trying to look less and less like human beings in order to hide their "flaws".

My thoughts exactly + it literally "whitewashed" Italys contestant...I mean, come on EBU, you can't possibly have looked at this and been like "Yup, this looks good and I see absolutely nothing wrong with this whatsoever".

One thing would have been to use this in actual Eurovision, but I actually find it using it at JESC 10x times worse since it is children involved here. Absolutely tasteless.
