What I love so much about this is he’s not just anti-AI, he’s attuned to the fact that most younger people hate it and want nothing to do with it, something I don’t think any of his peers in his age group have articulated
Christopher Nolan on AI:
“I’ve never seen a more rapid wholesale dismissal of a supposedly foundational jump in technology in my lifetime. So much energy has been expended on bringing in AI, but if you look at that generation’s reaction, they’re utterly rejecting it. [My children’s] judgment of AI slop has been immediate and harsh. They see it for what it is very quickly – and it’s much easier for them to identify it, because it grew out of an online world they know really well. And while that doesn’t mean that every aspect of the technology is useless or meaningless, in film-making it’s hitting at exactly the wrong time. After years of driving towards heavily virtual environments, we’re seeing a renewed interest in more tactile, more real forms of storytelling.”

I don’t think we gave @jonmchu enough credit for crafting such a masterpiece. Part One was emotional, hilarious and the Wicked movie we all wanted and needed. No other director could have delivered this story so perfectly.
Jon, you are an incredible talent. Thank you.
