How can you be mad at Martin Scorsese?
The 83-year-old filmmaker behind classics like Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, Goodfellas, The Departed and Killers of the Flower Moon, is cinematic royalty. Beyond his filmmography, Scorsese is an insightfulchampion of cinema and a proponent of communicating through art.
Plus, his voice cameo in this year's The Mandalorian And Grogu was one of the best things about the new Star Wars film, and he’s even game to be on Charli XCX’s new album cover.
However, in what feels to many as one of those “This is why we can’t have nice things” moments, Scorsese has spoken about using AI for filmmaking and has publicly endorsed tech company Black Forest Labs.
The Oscar-winner was announced as an “advisor” for the German-based company - specifically regarding the use of its FLUX image generation program. Black Forest Labs, which describes itself as "the frontier AI research lab for visual intelligence", posted a video of the collaboration alongside a statement from the director.
