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”

I distinctly remember, as a young teenager, the first time I stayed up all night on the internet, until I saw the morning sun peeking through my window.
Felt like I'd passed some barrier. The night was no longer real. Just a bunch of dark hours.
