After Nolan and Cameron, Guillermo del Toro denounces AI

The film industry is after artificial intelligence, and it's ready to let people know. After Christopher Nolan, who in 2023 drew a terrifying parallel between this technology and his film Oppenheimer, it's Guillermo del Toro's turn to take on this tool.

Guillermo del Toro defends the value of humans in the face of AI

At the beginning of this article, we told you about the fierce positioning of the director of Inception in the face of the rise of artificial intelligence, but he is far from being the only filmmaker to condemn this tool. Indeed, James Cameron, the father of Terminator, has also denounced a dangerous technology, while Tim Burton, whose Beetlejuice is currently in theaters, fears having his art stolen. As for Guillermo del Toro, who recently signed an adaptation of Pinocchio as well as season 2 of the series Carnival Row, gave his thoughts on AI and the value of art in an interview with BFI.

AI has shown that it can create half-convincing screensavers. That's basically it. The value of art is not related to its cost or the little effort it requires, but to the amount of money one risks to be in its presence. How much would people pay for these screensavers? Will they make them cry because they lost a son? A mother? Because they had a bad youth? Hell no.

If the robots imagined by science fiction, in works that have gone down in history like Star Wars or Terminator, can sometimes be endowed with emotions and soften the spectators, let's not forget in reality, it is a technology… Which unlike the human touch, is not capable of feeling feelings, nor of transmitting them. For this, it takes sensitive beings, artists, ready to sacrifice to communicate a story.

And you, what do you think?
