Every Brazilian who watched the Mexican series “Chaves”, by Roberto Gómez Bolaños, knows that one of the most beloved characters by viewers, Seu Madruga, played and immortalized by actor Ramón Valdés, collected several professions during the plot.
Remembered for iconic phrases like “The work is not bad. It’s bad to have to work” and “I like to leave job opportunities to younger people. And I’ve had this noble attitude since I was 15”, Madruga has already worked as a hairdresser, shoemaker, events agent, photographer, painter, carpenter, American football coach, milk delivery man, plasterer, athlete (boxer), churros seller, articles miscellaneous (old man in the bag) and children’s balloons, among others.
But now, Valdés has just gained new occupations in famous films and series, in yet another work carried out by Artificial Intelligence (AI ). The projections were created by a fan of the series and shared on the social network “Reddit”.
Now, the super productions “James Bond – 007”, “Lord of the Rings”, “Mad Max”, “Superman”, “Breaking Bad”, “Avatar” and “Pirates of the Caribbean” have the illustrious presence of Chiquinha’s father , showing that versatility is also a virtue of the noble and humble Seu Madruga.
Now that technologically he has started to occupy the Hollywood movie catalog, boasting fame, wealth and recognition, it remains to be seen whether the busy Madruguinha, whose interpreter has been dead for over 30 years, will finally stop owing 14 months of rent.
Blond Obama, Black Trump?
Artificial Intelligence continues to produce daily and increasingly diverse content about characters or everyday situations. From customizing physical appearances and voices to recreating deceased people, nothing seems to escape the reach of technology.
Have you even imagined Barack Obama, former president of the United States, as a white man? Or even a black Donald Trump? For technology, anything seems to be possible.
