Guillermo del Toro says AI is a form of "natural stupidity"

“We are on the verge of image illiteracy. We are on the verge of cinema illiteracy... The pact between man and image is sacred, but we are in a time when that is in danger... We are told images can be generated by artificial means. The existence of an image is not just to be there. It is to connect us, to make us feel beauty,” he said.

@MaxVOAO It's literally CGI. What are you talking about?

This is well worth a read.
Funny but spot on.
It's true - GenAI is not cool, it's for losers.
And they're spreading loserdom and losses all over the place.

APPARENTLY Discord has partnered with an Generative AI company called DomoAI? & has a bot in every server that doesn't show up on the member's list & is scraping images for AI Gen.

I managed to ban it (for now) by banning the following USer ID

Very excited to announce that after lengthy negotiations, we finally have the greenlight for the feature film adaptation of my graphic novel!

Details to follow! I can't say too much yet but... it's going to be in IMAX and have a worldwide exclusive theatrical release!

1/ Hi @Oprah . This event will be the first time many people will get info on Generative Ai. However it is shaping up to be a misinformed marketing event staring vested interests (some who are under a litany of lawsuits) who ignore the harms GenAi inflicts on communities NOW 🧵
