BBC's Blue Planet III embraces unpolished footage to prove authenticity in age of AI

BBC's natural history series Blue Planet III deliberately retains rough, imperfect footage such as plankton and floating debris to counter the 'too perfect' hallmark of AI-generated content. Executive Producer Elizabeth White says the series features real ocean behaviors including dolphins using sea sponges to trap fish and 200,000 crabs moving in formation to feed, presenting a more authentic view of nature.
