"The guy who taught himself a new art form spoke negatively of tools that circumnavigate the art form, curious." This is not a "safe" comment in an industry that is being bankrolled by AI conglomerates to incorporate their products at any level to the degree that Scorsese is propping up the Emperor's new clothes. Kane is the biggest director in the world right now because he is neither greedy nor stupid enough to need AI for film making.
When I was 5, Treasure Planet was my favorite for cool space stuff and Morph

‘BACKROOMS’ director Kane Parsons says he would get “no enjoyment” out of using generative AI on any project — “It defeats the purpose entirely for me.”
“I think I'm in the same boat as most well-adjusted people. If I could snap my fingers and make generative Al disappear forever, I probably would.”

The Luke Skywalker desired for by The Last Jedi haters is a flat, boring, and forgettable character.
These fans want a Luke Skywalker who has never lost. Never failed. Never faltered. Never doubted.
He’s a video game character from the 90’s before video games started telling truly interesting stories.
His biggest setbacks would have only come from some bigger, more powerful enemy who nearly defeats him in combat until Luke finds some new Force ability that helps defeat the enemy before it’s too late.
But the Luke Skywalker gifted to us in The Last Jedi is truly interesting because the enemy he is forced to defeat is the enemy within. His doubt. His failure. His insecurity.
Today, I signed an Executive Order temporarily repealing bedtimes in the City of New York so that kids of all ages can watch our team in the NBA Finals.
As Mayor, you’re forced to make many difficult decisions. This was not one of them.
Go Knicks.
Deep inner suffering inevitably arises when the human person is reduced to performance, consumption, or a statistical datum. Many young people today live under the yoke of expectations to perform, immersed in an exasperated competitiveness that generates anxiety, fear of not measuring up, and disorientation.
