Similar to his friend Guillermo del Toro, Johnson completely admonishes the use of generative AI and believes it is ruining the industry. At the very least, like del Toro, he believes it is having a profoundly negative impact on the industry. Although this sentiment seems to be shared by most creators, there are some who have chosen to embrace the era of AI slop.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;[AI is] something that&#8217;s making everything worse in every single way &#8211; I don&#8217;t get it,&#8221; Johnson told The Hollywood Reporter.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Johnson&#8217;s anti-AI stance makes complete sense coming from an industry standpoint. Films with AI can only manage a fraction of what actual people-generated films can accomplish. AI is also only capable of borrowing from existing work and can never create its own genuine projects, even if it tried. In fact, this &#8220;borrowing&#8221; is one of the main issues with generative AI; many of the most popular film and animation styles are being easily replicated without any credit to their original creators.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\"\/><\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">At the end of the day, for it to be considered art, it should take at least some effort. Yet, it is clear that some studios don&#8217;t feel the same way. Since it was an option, Coke has regularly decided to create its Christmas advertisements with AI. The company believes that the ads are of the same quality as they always produce, but many fans disagree.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Unless more directors take a stance similar to Johnson and Guillermo del Toro, the industry runs the risk of being taken over by AI. There is no chance it will ever completely dominate the industry as a whole, but it could heavily remove the people element from some of the most important upcoming projects. This would change the entire medium for the worse and could lead to the phasing out of some media-based content.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><strong><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/movies\/articles\/rian-johnson-already-formulating-murder-133355665.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:Related: Rian Johnson Is Already Formulating a Murder Plot for Knives Out 4;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">Related: Rian Johnson Is Already Formulating a Murder Plot for Knives Out 4<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Rian Johnson went off on generative AI.
