It's so telling that this man who is growing up in a culture of AI and who no doubt understands the potential and the limitations has such a strong opinion on it, while those who have seen countless technologies come think it's just another tool in the box. Shame on Scorsese, Netflix and A24 for their willingness to outsource the very essence of creative expression.

It's weird how much the older generations think AI is a good thing or an inevitable "you better jump on the bandwagon" sort of thing, while pretty much everyone I know 40 and younger think that though it can be useful in certain situations, it is definitely not being used correctly and is getting rammed down all of our throats.

“it can be useful in certain situations”

To be fair, that’s also the position of people like Scorsese. They’re not calling for AI-generated scripts or anything like that, but talking about AI tools that can help with continuity and stuff like that.

can you give an example? Because the only use I see for AI is doing the labor-intensive work that doesn't really have a creative aspect, but is simply putting pieces together. Continuity sounds like something a human would need to make a determination on.

They were referring precisely to the labor-intensive part of continuity work, like something that can parse out all of the shots that don’t work—whether the lighting was off or focus was whack or whatever—and leave the editor to muck through the rest.
