In a recent NPR interview that had more drama than a soap opera, Guillermo del Toro threw down the gauntlet against generative AI in filmmaking. “I am not interested, nor will I ever be interested,” he declared, sounding like the Batman of horror directors taking a stand against the tech bros of today.
Del Toro, the visionary behind the upcoming Frankenstein film set to light up Netflix, cleverly compared these over-enthusiastic tech wizards to Victor Frankenstein himself, the OG creator who got a bit too ambitious with needle and thread. He pointed out that tech bros, much like Victor, sometimes forget the massive ethical implications of their creations.
Let’s not sugarcoat it: del Toro is suggesting we hit the brakes on this tech train before it derails into chaos. So, while AI can whip up some impressive visuals, can it replace the soul of storytelling? The answer, according to our beloved del Toro, is a hard no—he’d rather face off with a real monster than collaborate with an algorithm. And honestly, who can blame him?
What do you think: can technology and artistry coexist in a meaningful way, or is del Toro onto something? Let the debate begin!
