The Art Directors Guild slams Martin Scorsese for his generative AI partnership
They accused him of 'turning his back on the human artists who throughout his career have helped him create his most memorable works'
"Mr. Scorsese asks the question, 'how do you communicate what you see in your head to your cast and crew?' He claims the solution is the use of this generative AI program to do the jobs that are rightfully the jurisdiction of Art Directors Guild"
"Generative AI is only capable of producing this type of 'cinematic intelligence' by ingesting large swaths of copyrighted work, likely scraped from the internet without consent, credit, compensation, or transparency"
"The skills of Art Directors Guild Local 800 artists and designers bring the highest level of value to any film or television production. To think their professional contributions can be mimicked or outshone by generative AI, which is built on work likely stolen from them and many other artists from around the world, is a betrayal of the collaborative nature of cinema"
In order to protect the human person in the age of #ArtificialIntelligence, we must once again reflect on the common good, the universal destination of goods, subsidiarity, solidarity and social justice. #MagnificaHumanitas

“Nothing in the world of AI is immaterial or magical.
[...] If technology promises emancipation, yet produces new forms of global subordination, it stands in contradiction to the fundamental principle of human dignity.”
Humanity, created by God in all its grandeur, is today facing a pivotal choice: either to construct a new Tower of Babel or to build the city in which God and humanity dwell together. In Jesus Christ, this humanity in its grandeur becomes the Way, the Truth and the Life, opening the path for each of us to grow toward fullness. #MagnificaHumanitas

Pope Leo XIV on AI:
“Artificial intelligence needs to be disarmed. The word [disarmed] is strong I know, but deliberately chosen because this moment needs words capable of attracting attention, awakening consciences, and indicating paths forward for humanity.”
"Please watch out for each other and love and forgive everybody. It's a good life, enjoy it."
Remembering Jim Henson, today and every day.
