In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.
The DC universe is built on the backs of countless artists over nearly a century, all of whom have had their work stolen by tech companies to destroy the future of all artists from this point forward. Using AI spits in the face of the entire legacy you're supposed to be upholding
Christopher Nolan says younger audiences are rejecting ‘AI slop’
“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”
“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”

PlayStation oficjalnie rezygnuje z fizycznych wydań gier od 2028 roku. 😐 Dodatkowo ogłoszono, że PlayStation Store na PS3 i Vicie zostaną zamknięte w 2027 roku.
Kilka dni po tym jak wybuchła afera o to, że Sony usuwa z bibliotek użytkowników setki legalnie zakupionych filmów, bo "wygasła licencja".
Nie będę ukrywał, że z perspektywy pasjonata, archiwizatora i miłośnika fizycznych wydań uderza mnie to prosto w serce.
W obliczu tego jak w ostatnich latach degeneruje branża, której poświęciłem ponad 25 lat życia, czas najwyższy żebym zastanowił się czy i w jaki sposób będę chciał obcować z nadchodzącymi produktami na tej i innych platformach.
Od dłuższego czasu decyzje podejmowane przez zarządy korporacji skutecznie zniechęcają mnie do czerpania radości z mojej małej oazy eskapizmu.
Steven Spielberg gives his thoughts on AI usage in filmmaking:
“I don't believe there is any substitute for the soul. I don't think that's an algorithm that is inventible... don't tell me I don't have the right antagonist in this story, don't tell me how to write my dialogue, don't tell me where the camera has to go…
If AI wants to help me find locations, that's great. Saves us some leg work… Use AI as a tool, but do not use AI as the final word on anything creative.”
