If you use AI, maybe you just shouldn’t be a writer. At least, that’s what Canadian actor and filmmaker Seth Rogen believes.
In an interview with Brut America at the Cannes Film Festival, Rogen shared his opinion on the use of AI in scriptwriting.
He said he doesn’t understand what AI is supposed to do. “Every time I see a video on Instagram that’s like, ‘Hollywood is cooked’, what follows is the most stupid, dog s**t I’ve ever seen in my life,” he laughed.
“And if your instinct is to use AI and not go through that process, you shouldn’t be a writer, because then you’re not writing. Go do something else. And if you don’t want to go through the process, you shouldn’t be a writer. Like the whole idea of a tool that makes me write less is not appealing to me, because I like writing,” he clarified.
His comments come amid a renewed push — especially in Hollywood — for the use of AI. Demi Moore recently said fighting AI is “a battle we will lose” at Cannes, calling on creatives to find ways to instead work with AI.
