AI experiment at Bayreuth Wagner festival draws boos

An artificial intelligence experiment at the annual Richard Wagner festival in Bayreuth, Germany, drew boos and whistles from the audience after the AI-assisted staging of "Götterdämmerung" left spectators puzzled. Curator Marcus Lobbes and his team were jeered during the curtain call, while conductor Christian Thielemann and the performers received warm applause. Organizers had touted it as the first time AI would act as an image-generating force on stage, producing ever-shifting projections of historical and political imagery.
