Guillermo del Toro says he'd "rather die" than use artificial intelligence, "particularly generative AI," in any of his future films:
"AI, particularly generative AI — I am not interested, nor will I ever be interested. I’m 61, and I hope to be able to remain uninterested in using it at all until I croak. … The other day, somebody wrote me an email, said, ‘What is your stance on AI?’ And my answer was very short. I said, ‘I’d rather die.'"

Major update, #AI 'assisted' works with 'enough' human creativity are #copyright eligible. Lots of vagueness here, but this definitely compounds the speed at which AI will impact the #film + #TV#production, #screenwriting & #distribution realm.
Interesting bit of the US Copyright Office latest guidance on AI and copyright
- prompts alone are not copyrightable, but a combination of AI editing steps can lead to work where "the output should be copyrightable"
